The Monégasque Table
Straight answers about edible glitter — is it safe, how much do you use, and is it really worth it? The Monégasque Table is a show where two hosts, Margaux and Dana, settle the questions home bakers and party hosts actually ask: safety, value, technique, and what the label really means. Every episode answers one question, gives the verdict up front, and says honestly who should skip it. Brought to you by MONÉGASQUE. Produced with AI-crafted hosts and human-checked facts.
