Abstract
A method is provided for manufacturing edible glitter flakes for use as cake décor. The method prescribes steps for combining egg white with up to three secondary liquid ingredients of food coloring, food flavoring, and sweetener to form a homogeneous liquid mixture, and the mixture is poured into a pan to a depth of a desired thickness of the flakes, without causing substantial denaturation of the egg white. The mixture is dried to solid form, then shredded using a scraping blade to shed the flakes having the desired thickness. Edible dust is mixed throughout and adhered to the flakes to form a homogenous solid mixture having a light-reflecting quality.
