Edible Gold Soft Press Transfer Sheets
24 karat light press transfer gold is a thinly-pounded gold leaf that is lightly attached to transfer leaf paper and separated by pages. The gold is not pressed by mechanical force to the transfer sheet and therefore remains quite fragile but is significantly easier to move as a full sheet of gold to an intended medium such a tiered cake, gold covered steak or other culinary purposes. Soft press 24 karat gold transfer sheets differ from hard press transfer sheets in that hard press transfer gold leaf is firmly attached to transfer backing for application to larger surface areas, whereas soft press edible gold lifts easily from its book, is quite delicate, needs to be handled with care, and is better suited for culinary accenting.
