Food with edible glitter has been one of the biggest trends of the year gone by. From teas and coffees to cakes, pastries and even gravies, people have been shimmering their food and drinks up, all around the world. Of course, the trend has taken Instagram by storm, with our feeds flooded with food that is too-pretty-to-eat. The consensus among foodies on Instagram seems to be- why eat normal food, when you can eat a glittery version of it? We can't help but agree!

Edible glitter is extremely easy to make and is often used in confections like wedding and birthday cakes. Nowadays, bakers have been using copious amounts of this decorative ingredient, making the finishes product look nothing short of a piece of art. Needless to say, we're here for this super cool trend and listed below are some shimmery foods that we're currently tripping on.

We all need our cuppa joe to start our mornings with. Adding just a pinch of glitter to it surely won't hurt. Or maybe, a jar full of it? Who cares, right?Glitter Jelly

There isn't a bigger motivation to eat healthy than colorful fruit smoothies that have been given with glittery makeover.

Adding too much glitter to your foods is of course, unhealthy and we would advise you against it. But a little bit of a sprinkling here and there can brighten up your day.
