Bring a warm, luxurious glow to your desserts with Ancient Gold Metallic Edible Glitter Colouring Powder. Created for pastry chefs and chocolate artisans, this powder delivers a rich, antique-style finish — ideal for modern showpieces and refined presentations.
In 2022, the European Union banned titanium dioxide in food due to potential concerns about long-term health effects. While still considered safe in Canada and the USA, our Ancient Gold powder offers a titanium dioxide-free alternative for those seeking cleaner, forward-looking options.
Use & Application:
-
Dust over molded chocolates, candies, pastries, and plated desserts for a sophisticated golden sheen.
-
Brush lightly onto mirror glazes, fondant, or chocolate shells to highlight textures with a soft, antique gold luster.
-
Use dry for a subtle dusting or dilute with alcohol to paint more defined metallic accents.
-
Apply directly to finished confections or into molds before pouring chocolate for layered brilliance.
Note:
This product is intended for surface decoration only.
It is not recommended to mix into batters, fillings, or creams, as the metallic effect may be diminished. For best results, apply to the finished surface of pastries, cakes, or chocolates.
An excellent choice for pastry professionals and home bakers seeking a natural, regulation-compliant metallic finish.
Suggested Dosage:
Approximately 1 g of powder will lightly dust 10–15 standard-sized chocolates or cover a similar area with a fine golden sheen. When diluted with alcohol for painting, 1 g can decorate about 8–10 medium-sized molded chocolates.
