Of course, the easiest way to decorate sweet treats such as slices, cookies, cupcakes, brownies, cakes, and even ice cream whilst keeping on-theme is to use gold sprinkles on top of the icing. It can be hard to get the icing to look a proper gold color, so the easiest way to do this is to add gold sprinkles to a plain colored icing.

Or another stunning gold dessert idea that looks amazing for an adult’s celebration is golden meringues served in champagne glasses. Simply make your meringues a longer shape so that they can slip easily inside the glassware of your choice. Or if for a kids’ party then you could serve them on plates rather than the tall glasses.
Golden castor sugar or brown sugar is the secret ingredient to make these meringues slightly golden. However, if you’re looking for more of a gold color for your meringues you might want to use an edible gold spray or simply some metallic gold sugar crystals to sprinkle on the meringues once they’re made. These golden meringues would also look amazing on a dessert table.
