Plain white items are pretty much a dream for a DIY blogger. So many colors and ideas went thru my head and I could not resist buying them. (Lol, yet I went with my typical gold glitter…) The glitter does NOT shed!!
Materials:
Ikea white cake server set (or any set)
Gold spray paint
Painters tape
Gold glitter craft paint
Paintbrush
Directions:
1) Grab your painter’s tape and tape up the server to expose the handle only. * (seriously, I forgot to photograph this step!? But I did- I had terrible pregnancy brain & I am sorry!!)
2) Spray paint, let dry and remove tape.
*You can go without spray painting, but you will need several coats of glitter paint and it will be much less of a bright gold. Alternatively you can use plain gold craft paint, but gold spray paint has much more of the metallic look I like.
** Or you can just leave it as is and not add glitter- the gold handles look pretty awesome!

3) I applied three coats of gold glitter craft paint to make mine glittery. Because it is craft paint, the glitter does not shed, but you do need multiple coats for a more glittery look.
4) Finish with a gloss spray.
These are not dishwasher safe… I know… it is what we all prefer, but since it is my cake utensil set which gets use only a couple times a year, I can suck it up. The price of a glitter cake cutter set in stores is way more money than the approximate $10 I spent here!
They are food safe because the paint is only on the handle- the handle is not food safe so be sure to use the right end when cutting and serving your cake 😉
