Summer Treats that Sparkle: Edible Glitter for Ice Cream, Lemonade, and More

06

When the sun is shining and the temperatures rise, it’s time to bring out the chilled drinks and frozen treats, but this summer, we’re turning up the fun with a touch of edible sparkle! Whether you’re hosting a garden party, planning a birthday bash, or just want to make your everyday snacks a little more magical, Honeyberry’s edible glitter is the easiest way to add instant wow-factor.

Here’s how to add shimmer and shine to your favorite summer treats:

1. Sparkly Ice Cream Scoops

Ice cream is already a crowd-pleaser, but a light dusting of edible glitter takes it to the next level. Try pairing:

  • Rose gold glitter on vanilla bean or strawberry ice cream for a romantic touch
  • Silver glitter on cookies-and-cream for a frosty galaxy look
  • Rainbow glitter on a scoop of bubblegum or cotton candy for kids’ parties

✨ Tip: Sprinkle the glitter just before serving to keep the shimmer bold and bright.

2. Glittery Lemonades & Summer Mocktails

Few things are more refreshing than a tall glass of lemonade, but why not make it dazzling? Stir in edible glitter to:

  • Classic lemonade (gold glitter works beautifully)
  • Watermelon juice (try pink shimmer)
  • Cucumber-mint coolers (green or iridescent sparkle)

💡 Pro tip: Add glitter directly to the drink or rim the glass with a sugar-glitter mix for that wow effect as soon as it’s served.

3. Frozen Fruit Pops That Shine

DIY ice pops are fun to make and endlessly customisable. Try adding a swirl of edible glitter to the molds before freezing. Pair with:

  • Freeze dried strawberries for texture and tang
  • Coconut milk for a creamy base
  • A touch of honey or agave for natural sweetness

4. Picnic-Ready Cupcakes with Edible Glitter Frosting

Headed to a beach picnic or garden party? Whip up cupcakes topped with swirl frosting and a sprinkle of glitter. Try:

🧁 Bonus points: Add a dried edible flower on top for an elegant, Instagram-worthy finish.

5. Kid-Friendly Sparkle Treats

Planning a backyard birthday or summer sleepover? Let the kids in on the fun! Set up a DIY glitter bar with:

  • Plain cupcakes or cookies
  • Small bowls of sprinkles in different colors and shapes
  • Mini spoons for sprinkling

It’s a fun, hands-on way for little chefs to get creative (and a great party activity too!).
