Frequently Asked Questions

Brew Glitter’s sister company is Bakell.com (Bakell®), one of the largest cake & craft supply companies in the US! In other words, we know the glitter, luster dust & disco market really well — we have been doing this a long time! Ok, so why is that important and what makes Brew Glitter® so different than other edible dusts & glitters out there?

• The first thing to know is that Brew Glitter® is not your typical edible “luster dust, petal dust, disco dust or dazzler dust” which you can buy at any craft store or hobby store like Bakell® , JoAnnes or Michaels® or any other decorating supplies store. The problem is, luster dusts & other edible dusts and glitters are made for food & confectionery items first, using it to stir into beverages or drinks is an after thought. In other words, luster dusts & petal dusts are not designed or manufactured to go in beverages, so although it kind of works, it really doesn't.
  
  So why is this important to know?
• It is important to know because Brew Glitter® is made specifically to go into drinks, beverages, beer, cocktails and so on! The Brew Glitter® team is so specific about the application of the product that they take the product through a much different manufacturing process then other edible glitters to specifically to allow the edible glitter to be able to suspend and swirl in a drink for a much longer period of time than a typical luster dust, which will either float to the top or sink after 15-20 seconds or so. So although Brew Glitter® has similar characteristics to other edible glitters & dusts out on the market place like luster dusts, the fact is, Brew Glitter® dusts & glitters could not be more different.
• Most importantly, Brew Glitter® SPARKLES & SHINES! Brew Glitter® is FAR more “pearlescent” than even the shiniest luster dusts out there AND the particle size of the individual grains are larger then luster dusts or other edible dusts to allow for maximum reflection of light, but still small enough to be texture-less. The bottom line is, Brew Glitter® is far more glittery, sparkly & shimmery than any edible glitter or dust on the market, and its not even close. Our beverage-ready Brew Glitter® glitters really SHINE and SPARKLE through the liquid like no other product on the market 

We developed Brew Glitter® dusts & glitters to do one thing really-really well, & that is to make beverages, drinks & liquids really shine, glitter, shimmer and swirl! There is a reason why brewglitter.com is the #1 site and brand for edible beverage glitters, because the Brew Glitter® mission is simple - we make every drink shimmer!

The melting point of our edible Dusts & Glitters is approx. 1300°C according to one of our third party labs. However, the melting point for the colored pigments will vary from one colorant to the next, this melting point approximation is meant only for our MICA PEARLESCENT additive.

This is one of those instances where looks can be deceiving. Each and every jar of our dust and/or glitter is filled by weight as opposed to volume. Whereas our product is manufactured using various amounts of edible pigments, the lighter colors such as white and clear are packed tighter than some of the deeper colors such as Gold and Red so while it may appear to the human eye that certain jars contain less product, in reality, the weight is exactly the same in every jar. Simply put. some powders are more fluffy than others but rest assured, you're still getting the same amount of product.
