gold flakes

Fancy dessert topping

Gold flakes are thin, small pieces of gold, often used decoratively.

They appear on fancy desserts, in cocktails, and in cosmetics, adding visual luxury without much actual gold content.

Gold leaf is similar but comes in larger sheets.

The champagne had gold flakes floating in it.
