Expert Review and Insights
When it comes to finishing touches, consistency is everything. PME has nailed it with these gold strands. The colour is a lovely, warm gold—not too brassy—and they sprinkle evenly without clumping. They hold their integrity well on buttercream, making them a reliable choice for any professional decorator's toolkit.

- Top Marks for Colour: A genuinely vibrant, shimmery gold that looks expensive and photographs beautifully.
- Best for Finishing: These are delicate, so they're better sprinkled on top than baked-in.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Bakehouse in Stow-on-the-Wold wanted to add more visual appeal to their bespoke cake offering, which felt a little plain. They needed a simple solution that didn't require extra labour but delivered a 'wow' factor.
"We started using the PME gold strands on our signature carrot cake and for custom orders. The feedback was immediate. They just make everything look so much more polished and special. It’s such a simple, cost-effective upgrade."
Robert Davies – Owner & Baker
The bakery saw a notable increase in custom cake enquiries, directly attributing it to the enhanced presentation of their display items.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting the Best Results
- For an even coating, sprinkle from a height of about 20-30cm above your cake.
- Apply to fresh, sticky icing or buttercream to ensure the strands adhere properly.
- If your icing has dried, a very light mist of water can help them stick.
- Use tweezers for precise placement if you are creating detailed patterns.
Keeping Them Fresh
- Always snap the lid on the pot tightly after each use to prevent moisture getting in.
- Store in a cool, dry cupboard, away from direct sunlight which can fade the colour over time.
- Keep them away from strong-smelling ingredients like spices, as they can absorb odours.
- Check the best-before date on the pot to ensure maximum freshness and quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these PME gold sugar strands fully edible?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are made from sugar and other edible ingredients, designed specifically for cake decorating and consumption.
Q: Is the colour a true metallic gold?
A: They have a bright, shimmery gold finish that catches the light beautifully, giving a very convincing and classy gold effect.
Q: Will the colour bleed onto white buttercream?
A: These strands have good colour stability and are not prone to bleeding on buttercream, but it's always best to apply them just before serving for perfect results, especially in humid conditions.
Q: Are they suitable for vegans or vegetarians?
A: Formulations can change, so we always recommend checking the ingredients list on the packaging for the most current information regarding dietary requirements.
Q: Are these gluten-free?
A: For the most accurate and up-to-date allergen information, please refer directly to the product packaging before use.

A: A little goes a long way! For most users, an 80g pot is sufficient for decorating dozens of cupcakes or several large cakes.
Q: Can I bake these into a cake or cookie batter?
A: It is not recommended. These strands are designed as a topping and may melt or lose their colour and texture if baked.
Q: What's the best way to store them once opened?
A: Keep them in their original pot with the lid sealed tightly, and store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

Explore more from PMEWhy 'Free From Artificials' Adds Value to Your Bakes
Seeing 'Free from artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives' on the label might seem like a small detail, but it's a huge plus for your business. It means you're decorating with an ingredient that won't introduce synthetic tastes or chemical aftertastes to your carefully crafted recipes. It allows the flavour of your sponge, buttercream, and fillings to be the star of the show.
Think of it like seasoning a dish. You'd use natural sea salt to enhance the flavour, not a synthetic salt substitute that completely changes the taste profile. These sprinkles do the same for your bakes; they add beauty and texture without compromising the integrity of your ingredients. It’s a mark of quality that discerning customers, especially parents and those with dietary sensitivities, really appreciate.
