Edible Gold Leaf
What is Patent and loose Gold Leafs?
Loose Gold Leaf
The gold leaves are placed in paper booklets, loosely inlaid in 25 compartments, one for each leaf. To cut the leaf, one may take it from the booklet with the gilding knife and place it on the gilding cushion or drop it directly from the booklet onto the gilding cushion. Then, pick up the leaf with the gilder’s tip and place it onto the surface or simply slid it off the paper onto the cake.
Patent (Transfer) Gold Leaf
The individual gold leaves are pressed onto a tissue paper. One uses patent gold, also called tempest gold. The tissue paper is larger than the gold leaf, thus it may be more easily handled. It is also possible to cut the patent leaves into desired shapes/forms with sissors. The leaves are placed onto the cake, and carefully rubbed with cotton wool or soft tissue. The tissue paper may then be removed as the gold leaf will adhere to the surface.
