Yes. When you consider that flakes of gold are solid albeit thin and lacking any real tensile strength, it is certainly possible for you to not change the gold's state of matter.

In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure all you need is a spoon and a lighter or maybe a candle and you can be on your way to making solid gold bars in no time.

If they a real Gold flakes then yes they can be melted down and turned into ingots, however you would need an awful lot of flakes to make an ingot.
