One of my signature touches is using edible 24K gold leaf, particularly from my favourite brand, Barnabas Gold. Gold leaf isn’t just an extravagant decoration—it’s a way to enhance the beauty, value, and luxury of my cakes while giving my clients a truly special treat.


Gold has long been a symbol of luxury, celebration, and elegance, and when used in cake decorating, it instantly transforms a dessert into an opulent centerpiece. Whether it's a wedding cake, an anniversary cake, or a high-end event dessert, adding edible gold leaf creates a jaw-dropping effect that my clients love.

Gold leaf adds a sophisticated shine that catches the light beautifully, making cakes look regal and refined. It’s perfect for creating that high-end, designer feel my clients expect.


Whether I’m decorating a minimalist modern cake with delicate gold flakes or applying full gold sheets for a bold, gilded effect, gold leaf is versatile and breathtaking. It pairs well with buttercream, fondant, and even chocolate, allowing endless design possibilities.
