dragees
Tiny sugar pearls
Dragees are small candy balls with a hard, shiny coating, used to decorate cakes and pastries.
The term also applies to sugar-coated pills or medications designed to be swallowed whole.
In both cases, the smooth outer shell distinguishes them: The wedding cake was covered in silver dragees.
Pronounced with two syllables, from French.
