For those who wonder about the glitter just think of it like play doh it's non-toxic but non-edible, it's not poisonous but you don't eat it either. That kind of glitter is actually for cake decorating used as displays. Many ppl don't understand the diff when the glitter says non-toxic and non-edible especially if it's sold at a bakery supply shop, you'd assume it should be edible. I didn't know the diff either until I did some research. It is pretty but unfortunately the body can't breakdown the material and it can lead to belly aches etc. Some ppl use it sparingly but it's the ones who use a ton on their party desserts that has me like 😬 I'm very glad Cristina mentions it in her video and in the description that those glitters are non-edible because some ppl don't and like she mentions tinker dust is edible ad FDA approved. Thanks for the great tutorial btw!!

I’d still eat it. Lol

[@hurricanekitty6736]

I find it better to see it as lipstick or chapstick. They’re not made for eating but won’t hurt you….plus, if you eat a lot of it, you’ll feel like a unicorn when you poop it out lol

I was wondering the same thing and I went to the comments and no one s talking about it.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! ❤ I am now a fan! This is the first video of yours I have watched and I'm just wowed at how beautiful and tasty everything looks. You are very talented, and I greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. I like dipping strawberries and cookies, etc in chocolate. I have gotten compliments. But these are breathtakingly beautiful. I have to go back and watch the part on the disco dust though, I think I heard you say it's not approved for consumption or something, not sure, lol. Or Maybe not recommended. But they are so pretty.

[@SugarMagicbyCristina]

Thank you Earl! It is great to hear feedback from someone that has experience with dipping chocolate treats. I also posted an updated video sharing a method without using candy coloring to save money. Yes for disco dust/techno glitter they are commonly used at bakeries/small businesses but they are only considered non-toxic since they are not labeled with nutritional value by the FDA. So they are mainly aesthetic/ for decorative purposes. If you the look , in my description box I linked Tinker Dust which looks as close to the disco dust as possible but has been FDA approved. It can be applied with the same technique using a shaker for best results

[@earlleary]

@@SugarMagicbyCristina , thank you so much! You are a wonderfully, friendly, amazing person! Have a great day!
