Original caption

I’ve never met a dessert I didn’t think could use a little more sparkle ✨ ✨ Gold leaf on truffles? Absolutely. Cakes? Of course. Cookies? Sure. At this point, I’d probably put it on pizza if you let me. For these truffles, I float a sheet of gold leaf on the water, dip the truffle in, give it a quick spin, and the gold wraps right around it. One of my favorite little pastry tricks and yes, I fully believe gold belongs on everything. 💜 Follow for the pastry chef techniques, opinions, and little details recipes usually leave out. #baking #bakingtips #chocolate #dessert #goldleaf
