I want to make this cake below taken from:

How do I get the gold dust design on the chocolate? Thanks Jen
I would mix the gold dust with a drop or two of veggie oil and the gold lustre dust, then use a sable brush and dab it on in droplets.
You don't have to do that. You can Google Chocolate Transfers and you will find an assortment of transfers that make that and MANY more patterns on your chocolate!

Yep, that is a transfer sheet. You would cut the transfer sheet into a circle the same size as your cake top, lay the circle pattern side up on a flat surface such as a larger cardboard cake circle, spread melted chocolate on the rough side of the transfer sheet, where the design is embossed, with an offset spatula. Smooth as carefully as possible, put the circle with the cardboard in the refrigerator and allow to set just until you can touch the chocolate with your fingertip and it doesn't come off on finger. You don't want it to set completely or it will shatter with the next step, using a pastry wheel mark the chocolate into 12 sections. Press lightly on the pastry wheel when marking, but you want to go in deep enough to touch the transfer sheet without cutting through it. Leave it on the cardboard circle, return to fridge to set completely. Have your cake iced and ready to go. Remove from fridge and cut between the marked lines with a long pair of sharp scissors to make 12 pie shaped wedges. Carefully turn the pieces over and peel away the transfer sheet.
Lay the first wedge with the point in towards the center of the cake and the curved part just at the edge of the cake, turn it to an angle and pipe a small ball of icing to the right side of the wedge with a large star tip to hold it upright at an angle, continue to do this with each wedge until you are all the way around the cake top.

Katy,
Kerekes or also known as Bake Deco are great to do business with, I like their transfer sheets but I also really love the chocolate texture sheets. They are what I used for the pink chocolate purse in my photo gallery. The texture sheets are large and come 5 to a package.

Hey, thats good to know! I am really getting into this whole Chocolate wrapping and transfers. Its so pretty!
I think i saw single transfer sheets at beryls.com.
My comment was regarding anyone who doesn't want to use/can't afford/doesn't know how to use a chocolate transfer sheet. This is the old fashioned way to do it!! 
WOW! Transfer sheets, so much to learn, so much to learn! ShirleyW I wish I would have asked the how to question myself before I made the chocolate grooms cake from Wilton. All those triangles and I just patiently broke through hundreds until I had 70 decent ones. I'm saving your step by step instructions and can hardly wait to try again someday. I'm one of those that tries to build it before opening the instructions
