Hi Penny

If you’re a premium or Pro member you will have access to Faye Cahill’s beautiful shimmering wedding cake tutorial where you will find all the techniques required to achieve a gold cake. See it here:

Shimmering Lace Wedding

See also Paul’s gorgeous Golden Damask wedding cake here:

Golden Damask Rose Wedding

Both these cakes can be adapted as a single tier for birthdays. Faye Cahill’s silver leaf can be easily changed to gold leaf.

If you wanted to keep it more simple just use the painting technique shown in these tutorials. There’s more inspiration for elegant cakes using the techniques shown in both the above tutorials here: http://www.cakeflix.com/metallic-cake-trend/

Hope this helps.

thank you very much x
