Coronation cake

do you think this would be too much for a coronation cake - 22k-24k gold leaf on the cake?

is the gold leaf edible, or just for looks?

Yes, it is edible gold leaf

I guess you might as well eat it when you have as much gold as the Royal Family. Maybe it will help Charles' complexion.

I don't get the design of that at all.

I don't think it's at all attractive. Rather ugly in my opinion.

@lil sophie I have to agree with @sabatini and @Love my grandkids . That cake looks like a wreck! Why try to improve it with gold leaf?

It just looks like spray painted tin foil to me. Lol

@PA Mom-mom, the gold leaf is already on the cake, but I don't understand its design.

To me, the sides seems a bit mardi gras, while the top looks as if something was removed from it & torn in the process.

I'm sorry, @lil sophie.

@sabatini You are right. Looking at it again, it's the gold leaf that is the problem. The cake was originally posted on taste.com au and delicious.com au

This cake is a hot mess. If I made it, I would be terribly embarrased.

To hurry things up I can only think of edible gold spray. Thanks for all your replies.

The gold leaf was put on in square sheets.

Here's something that tops it all. This is the Queen's Diamond Jubilee cake. Wow!

That cake is cheap looking and hideous. Surely that's not the cake😱

Yes, I am sure it would be too much cost wise. Gold is expensive.

I would hope that cake tastes better than it looks. It doesn't paint a pretty picture.
