Hi roscampbell
Faye Cahill shows how to apply silver leaf to cake in the shimmering lace cake tutorial. The two part tutorial can be seen here:
To aid sticking, I find it helps to smear a tiny amount of shortening over the surface of the cake. Using a large round soft headed brush helps to smooth the leaf out without too many cringles.
Please let me know whether my answer helps, if not please do post again for more information.
