Fresh edible flowers make gorgeous and easy Christmas cake decorations. Pile on fresh flowers such as sweet violets, lavender, honeysuckle, rose petals and calendulas to plain Christmas cakes. To add a wonderful sparkly glow to the cakes dust the flowers with super fine sugar.
Fresh fruits can also be used to spice up the Christmas cakes. Kiwis, grapes, oranges and strawberries can be arranged on the top of a cake and glazed with shiny syrup. Fresh sliced figs with dollops of whipped cream make cute as well as yummy embellishment.
Lace paper doilies placed over the cake before dusting makes wonderful lacy patterns. Lovely designs such as stars, polka dots, flowers, diamonds, vines, and waves can be cut out from parchment paper and can be used to deck up the cakes. A great way to dust a cake is to use a stencil of radiating lines and both confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder.
Chocolate curls, ruffles, jagged slabs and leaves are another easy way to jazz up a cake. Chocolate curls can be made with a vegetable peeler by simply shaving off pieces of a chocolate block Marzipan molded into different shapes makes very attractive garnishes. Marzipan can be shaped into animals, fruits, vegetables, flowers, and any numerous fanciful shapes.
