My daughter chose these beads to sprinkle on the homemade cupcakes we made for her birthday. I should've tested them first. They don't melt in your mouth, they are hard like plastic beads & everyone cried out in pain while eating them. I spent hours baking & making home made frosting, which was ruined by these hard inedible beads! I do not recommend them for any frosted dessert!! I ended up telling everyone to scrape the frosting off. At the end of the night, I went through all the cupcakes scraping the beads off the all the leftover cupcakes we had since no one wanted to eat them. Even my garbage disposal had a rough time breaking these beads down. I had to use hot water to melt them down.
