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