Gold

There is no cake decoration more stunning than edible gold. Twenty-three-karat gold and silver leaf, flakes, and powder are available from Edible Gold, Easy Leaf Products, and the Gilded Planet (see Ingredients Sources). When dusted on a cake glazed with a shiny chocolate frosting, such as the Deep Chocolate Passion Wedding Cake or the Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Cake, it lends the appearance of a starry night. Lovely gold and other hues of luster dust are also available in cake decorating supply stores.
