Gorgeous, thank you so much! :)
Is this even safe to put on edibles? I have a feeling something spray painted shouldn’t come into contact with food.
I’d like to make some for other purposes, but unless you can verify that they are food safe, I won’t be placing these on cupcakes. I’m surprised no one has mentioned this…
Thank you for sharing this! I will be making these today for my Ina Garten coconut cake. Really, one of the most brilliant DIY projects ever! Many thanks!
