SC - Gold Leaf-A use

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

re: availability of edible gold leaf.
We got our for our banquet from Maid of Scandanavia, a cake decoratiing 
company (neat catelog...like five kinds of wafer irons, and even cast 
iron abelskivver pans. Wow! Three sizes of dragees! Gum Tragacanth! All 
kinds of things).

It was about $35 for a book of 25 3 3/8x 3 3/8 inch leaves. This is 23 
karat gold, adulterated only with pure silver. No copper. It is made in 
Italy, especially for food use.

Veeeeeerrrrrrry dangerous catelog...

Oh, and I found 24 karat gold leaf at art supplies too, but don't know as 
it has been hdnled properly for food use. In fact, the people a the 
counter looked at me like I was crazy...

It was a PAIN to use, but definatly worth the effort. And yes, you can 
use this same stuff for manuscript illumination, gilding furnture,e tc.
