Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A boutique patisserie in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, wanted to add a more refined and consistent finish to their signature dessert range. They switched from a mixed sprinkle to these uniform PME silver pearls.
"Our customers really do notice the small details. These pearls just make our éclairs and macarons look so much more polished and luxurious. They're simple to use but the impact is significant."
Clara Beaumont – Head Pâtissier
The patisserie saw a notable increase in social media shares of their desserts, attributing it to the more 'Instagrammable' finish.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Apply pearls when your icing or buttercream is still slightly tacky for the best adhesion.
- For super precise placement on lettering or patterns, use a clean pair of tweezers.
- To avoid marking fondant, press them in gently rather than pushing hard.
- For a scattered effect, sprinkle from a height for a more even, natural distribution.
Keeping It Going
- Always screw the lid on the pot tightly after use to keep out moisture.
- Store in a cool, dry place like a pantry or cupboard, away from sunlight.
- Keep them away from strong-smelling items like spices to preserve their neutral taste.
- Check the best-before date on the packaging to ensure they're at their best.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these PME silver pearls really edible?
A: Absolutely. They are 100% edible and perfectly safe to use on any food item you wish to decorate.
Q: What is the exact size of each pearl?
A: These are uniform 4mm silver sugar pearls, ideal for creating precise and consistent decorative effects.
Q: Will the silver colour bleed onto my icing?
A: No, they are designed with a high-quality, colour-fast coating that won't run or bleed onto buttercream, fondant, or cream.
Q: Can I bake these into a cake?
A: For the best results and to maintain their brilliant shine, we recommend applying them after baking and cooling.
Q: How do I store them after opening?
A: Just screw the lid back on the pot tightly and store it in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight.
Q: What is the texture like?
A: They have a pleasant, light crunch, much like a traditional sugar sprinkle (or 'hundreds and thousands'). They are not hard like a jawbreaker.

A: Yes, it comes with a very handy screw-top lid to keep your PME silver pearls fresh and prevent spills.
Q: Can I use these on hot desserts?
A: They are best applied to cool or room-temperature desserts, as high heat can affect their sugar coating and cause them to melt.
