How to apply gold leaf
Gold leaf is extremely light and sticks to everything, so work away from draughts and with dry hands. Lift the sheet with a soft, dry brush or tweezers and place it on a slightly moist or tacky surface such as icing, ganache, fondant or chocolate. For flakes, tease the sheet apart with the brush and dab on.
