Edible silver leaf is specifically crafted for the food industry. It is an excellent decoration for dark backgrounds, such as chocolate, sushi, fish, and other gourmet foods, whether they are light or dark in color.
These genuine silver leaves are individually and loosely placed in paper tissue. Edible silver leaves pair wonderfully with gold leaves, providing a striking contrast and creating a luxurious presentation in a single dish.
How to Apply Edible Silver Leaf to a Cake?
- Carefully slide the silver leaf onto the cake. For more precise placement, you can use an Edible Leaf Application Brush.
- Avoid touching the silver leaf with your fingers, as this can cause it to tear or lose its shape.
- Ensure you work in a non-drafty environment to prevent the silver leaf from blowing away.
- Before applying the silver leaf, make sure the cake’s surface is free of any powder or sugar, which can prevent it from sticking properly.
- If the cake’s surface is already moist, that is ideal for application. If it is dry and hard (like a biscuit), use a food paintbrush to apply a thin layer of water to the area where you plan to place the silver leaf.By following these steps, you can achieve a beautiful and elegant finish on your cake using edible silver leaf.
