Edible Silver Flakes
Pure silver flakes (E174), ready to apply to cakes, chocolates, and sugar pieces.
Squires Kitchen edible silver flakes are made by compressing pure silver (E174) into an extremely thin sheet, then fragmenting it into flakes. Applied directly to a slightly damp or sticky surface, they create a bright metallic effect without paint or drying, and are used in pastry and chocolate making for premium finishes.
