Gold leaf, paints and glitter powders
Edible gold leaf, metallic paints and glitter powders for shiny, luxurious finishes.
Gold, paints and lusters
Edible gold leaf adds a luxurious touch to desserts and chocolate candies. Ready-to-use metallic paints can be applied with a brush, luster powders add a pearlescent finish to a surface (dry or diluted), and glitters add a sparkling sheen.
Applying a metallic finish
Work on a completely dry surface. Apply the powder dry with a brush for a metallic sheen, or dilute it in a little food-grade alcohol to paint details. Handle gold leaf with a dry brush or tweezers, without touching it directly (it sticks to everything).
