1. Fondant Fancies
Fondant is an easy way to make any cake look like it came from a professional bakery. To spruce up your fondant-covered chocolate cake, use fondant icing to create a fun winter scene on top of the cake for festive occasions. You can also use fresh fruits with powdered sugar for any other occasions.
2. Chocolate Fruit Cake

3. Chocolate Shavings
Add texture and interest by sprinkling chopped chocolate shavings on top of your cake. You can buy pre-made chocolate shavings at any grocery store or make them yourself with a sharp cheese grater or vegetable peeler. The result will be a beautiful layer of chocolaty goodness that will tantalize any taste bud.
4. Melted Chocolate Drizzle
Simply drizzle the melted chocolate over your finished cake for an effortless yet luxurious look. This one is so simple yet so satisfying! Just pipe patterns with melted chocolate (dark or milk) in whatever design you like onto the surface of your cake and you'll have an elegant masterpiece in minutes.
