Cotton Candy Glitter Bomb Recipe

💫 What is a Cotton Candy Glitter Bomb?

A cotton candy glitter bomb is a soft cloud of cotton candy filled with special edible glitter. When you drop it into a drink — like soda, juice, mocktail, or champagne — it instantly dissolves, releasing a mesmerizing shimmer into the glass.

Looking to turn your next party drink into a magical, sparkling moment? A cotton candy glitter bomb is the perfect way to do just that — and yes, you can make it yourself!

In this guide, we'll teach you how to make a cotton candy glitter bomb step-by-step, using simple ingredients and one magical addition: Staller's edible shimmer glitter. This glitter is specially designed to flow beautifully in drinks without sinking or floating — creating that eye-catching shimmer effect that's perfect for parties, weddings, and celebrations.

Important Note: Not all glitters are created equal. Many so-called "edible glitters" either float on top of the drink and look odd, sink to the bottom like sand, or clump together—ruining the intended effect.
