How to make a golden pear place setting
Use edible golden leaf and you can eat the pears with a cheese course!
You Will Need
- Pears (1 per person)
- Edible gold leaf sheets
- Water
- Paintbrush
- Gift tags
- Twine or cord
Step 1
Use a paintbrush to dampen each pear with water, this will ensures the gold leaf sticks. Be careful when handling the gold leaf as it is extremely delicate, tear off pieces ready to apply.
Step 2
Press the gold leaf over the pear and smooth it down. Once dry, you can use a dry paintbrush to brush off any excess gold leaf. To finish, tie a name tag to the stalk of the pear (we used a faux leather cord).
