I went to my local cake decorating shop and asked them for food silver. It is a little jar of silver powder. We sprinkled a little on to the sheet and then brushed with a pastry brush; I was quite surprised at how bright a silver they came out.
Gold seems to be a lot harder to get hold of; theoretically you can get similar gold powder, but noone ever seems to have it in stock. You can, of course, use gold leaf; use egg white to coat the surface then put the gold leaf down.
Hope that this is of some help..
