Edible gold leaf
For those who want the crème de la crème of sprinkles, edible gold leaf can be sprinkled or layered onto food. It is made from 23-carat gold and has been licensed as a food additive (E175) by the European Union. Immensely fragile and available in the form of gold dust, flakes and gold leaf, edible gold is incredibly light and has no taste. It can be sprinkled into glasses of champagne, over cakes or on savoury foods. In leaf form, it can also be wrapped over chocolates and other foods, for show-stopping displays of extravagance. A glass jar containing a tiny 150mg of 23-carat edible gold flakes can be bought online for around $32.
