Easy Homemade Edible Gold Leaf

Good day  Fam!

It's CAKE'EduMonday🤸🤸🤸.

For those who are new to the tribe, every Monday we share exceptional baking nugget, tidbit and guide to help you bake better.

Edible gold leaf is a Flavorless, odorless, and nontoxic, edible gold can be used as a garnish for desserts and cocktails. 

I stumbled upon this online, tried it and the result was amazing. 

YOU WILL NEED :

2 Tbsp of Water

1/8 CMC/Tylose

1/4 Gold Lustre Dust

Aluminum Foil

INSTRUCTIONS : 

1) In a small bowl, mix 1tbsp of water and CMC/tylose together. Try as much as possible to eliminate lumps (although it won't show once it's dried). 

2) Add the remaining tbsp of water and mix (at this point, the mixture would loosen up) .

3) Once the mixture is well combined, add in the Gold Lustre Dust and mix till well combined. (the amount is dependent on how intense you want your gold leaf to be) 

4) Spread the mixture evenly over the aluminum foil and allow to dry. ( The drying time is depends on how thick you spread the mixture). 

Voila.... You can have your edible gold leaf. Store it in an airtight container. 

I hope this helps you today! 

Go bake the world into a better place!
