Metalic Foil on Indian Sweets I want to make some authentic Indian sweets, but I have questions about the silver foil that is found on some of them.  First of all, I can't seem to find it (in the United States); the closest I get is edible gold leaf.  I suppose I could leave it off, but I was wondering if there was an "authentic" substitute.
Cake decorating stores should have food grade edible foils, both silver and gold.   These are specialty items that you are unlikely to find locally, and may have to order from online distributors.

Surprisingly, even Amazon has a listing for silver leaf.  You will find other sources if you google.
