"gold leaf" news and stories

Slice NY went to the New York Pizza Show and got to try what the makers would like to call the gold standard in pizza: a pizza with gold leaf as one of the toppings! According to what Adam wrote on the flickr page for the picture of the pizza that comes from Spain, the pizza was "great. The crust, sauce, cheese distro. Everything. The only complaint I had was that it had gold leaf on it, which is more gimmick than anything." Gold leaf has no flavor and doesn't get absorbed into the body (no calories!), so Adam goes on to say "have some valuable poop soon."

Who doesn’t want to get a shiny, gold Oscar statuette during the Academy Awards?

Unfortunately, without a nomination, your odds of getting one are slim. There’s always next year, right? That is still no reason why you shouldn’t bring home the gold anyway. Order some edible gold leaf and use it to dress up your favorite desserts. The gold is a very, very thin sheet of 22-25 karat gold that is safe to eat. It can also be found as an edible gold dust – not to be confused with non-edible gold sprinkles – that can be sifted onto desserts and other confections. Check your local cake decorating or craft store, or buy some online before the big night.
