Usage tips
Work in a draft-free area: gold leaf is very light. Pick it up with a dry brush or tweezers, without touching it with your fingers where it immediately sticks. Place it on a slightly sticky surface (icing, gel, barely set chocolate), then gently press with the brush. Apply the leaf as the last step, just before serving or displaying.
Edible gold (E175) is authorized as a surface colorant in the European Union. Store the sheets flat in their original booklet, protected from moisture and drafts.
