Flocons de platine comestibles

There are certainly times when you might want to choose platinum leaf over the flake-form. For example, if you are decorating a cake for a wedding or other special occasion, you might prefer a more smooth look. But it should be noted that platinum comes at a price even more expensive than gold and for many applications, using just a small amount of platinum flakes will achieve that contrast you desire at a more affordable price. Even just a single flake atop a chocolate truffle or piece of sushi will take the aesthetic level of your fare from ordinary to incredible—a striking and memorable culinary work of art that is sure to impress anyone!

Much like edible gold and silver, edible platinum is extremely delicate. You do NOT want to expose it to moisture or oils. DO NOT try to apply it with your hands. Instead, use a clean soft-bristled brush, wooden application tool, or anti-static tweezers.  

How to tell the difference between platinum and silver

While both silver and platinum may appear similar in color, it is actually quite easy to tell the difference. Platinum is brighter and shiner while silver has a much darker and grayer hues.
