Vark is any foil composed of a pure metal, typically silver, sometimes gold, used for garnishing sweets in South Asian cuisine. The silver is edible, though flavorless. Vark is made by pounding silver into a sheet a few micrometres thick, and backed with paper for support; this paper is peeled away before use.
