Whether you need to decorate a wedding cake or add "bling" to cupcakes for a wedding, party or shower, edible decorations will WOW your guests every time.

Edible sugar diamonds can add a touch of glamor to any party or reception decor.

Find out more about these wonderful confectionery treats and the different ways you can use edible decorations to create a wedding that is truly one of a kind.

What are Edible Sugar Diamonds?

These are edible decorations, shaped like diamonds. They look similar to diamond confetti, but are actually edible! They can be consumed without guilt because edible diamonds are made with isomalt sugar. Isomalt is a sugar substitute with a low glycemic index that has the same physical properties as sugar.

These shimmering edible treats are quickly becoming one of the hottest cake-decorating trends because they serve two purposes. They add sparkle to any cake design (or cupcakes) and guests don't have to remove them to eat their dessert. It's a two-fold advantage for those who have to decorate and clean up afterward!

Wedding Cake Diamonds

Your engagement diamond initiated the whole wedding process. So what could be more appropriate than to sum up the entire wedding experience with diamonds at the wedding - edible diamonds, that is! These do wonders for wedding cakes, and enable you to have affordable and edible wedding cake decorations that don't have to be removed before serving your guests.

Edible sugar diamonds can be sprinkled around the border of each wedding cake layer or used as part of your wedding cake topper. Get creative and use them to embellish the center of an edible flower or at cross-sections on a quilted wedding cake. Edible wedding cake decorations come in a variety of colors so you can easily find wedding cake diamonds to match your wedding cake and reception theme.

*Hint: Be sure the cake server tells each guest that they can eat the diamonds!

Bridal Showers with Sparkle

Bridal showers usually feature a cake or cupcakes. Edible sugar decorations and diamonds create the perfect atmosphere for the new bride-to-be. Place a single edible diamond on each cupcake to make it shimmer and shine, or sprinkle them decoratively on the bridal shower cake. Clear colored edible diamond decorations are often used to represent the engagement ring at bridal showers; however, other colors can be used to match the bride's theme.

Welcome a New Baby with Diamonds

If planning a baby shower, prepare cupcakes and place pink and blue edible diamonds on each cupcake to create a baby theme. You can use a single color if the gender of the baby is known, or simply use both colors if not. Consider using other diamond decorations (the kind that aren't edible) for shower decor, such as diamond tealights, diamond confetti and heart shaped diamonds. These can be used to decorate guest dining tables, gift tables or serving counters.

Birthday parties can also be decorated with edible sugar diamonds and other diamond decorations. Party treats such as cupcakes, birthday cake and cookies can each feature edible diamonds.

Thankfully, wedding bling such as edible sugar diamonds, diamond confetti, edible cake jewels, bridal jewelry, favor boxes, cupcake wrappers and more can easily be ordered on the Web from the comfort of your own home. Order these items in bulk online to save big bucks when decorating for your next big event!
