Adding Gold/Silver Leaf to your cakes

Top tips for adding Gold/Silver Leaf to your cakes:

Prepare your cake -

  • Make sure your fondant or buttercream surface is smooth and slightly tacky.
  • If it feels too dry, lightly brush the area with edible glue.

Handle with care

  • Gold leaf is extremely fragile, avoid touching it with fingers.
  • Use a dry brush or tweezers to lift small pieces.

Apply the leaf

  • Gently press the gold leaf onto the cake.
  • For a polished look, smooth it carefully with the brush.
  • For a textured or “broken” effect, apply small flakes randomly.

Build up the effect

  • Add more pieces as needed, overlapping edges for a seamless metallic shine.
  • For accents, just apply small touches; for drama, cover whole sections.
