If you tell me to “cut on a diagonal” you will have me staring at the piece of meat/cake or whatever for about twenty minutes, blinking in confusion. I will decide to do this again, but will use my own chocolate icing - the canned stuff is just too sweet. I want to have the mushrooms but no one seems to sell them. I have no desire to create them on my own, lol!
I did have childlike fun in running my fork through the icing, convincing myself it looked just like bark!
(1) you cant buy meringue mushrooms--you have to make them.
use an Italian meringue recipe---make rounds and oblongs---glue together w/ icing. Sprinke w/ cocoa powder.
(2) use toy woodland creatures and ghnomes--just tell guests they are not edible.
(3) s/market birthday cake decor has cute items you can use to decorate.....frosting letters spelling out NOEL can hide flaws.
