Edible decorations are food items used to enhance the visual appeal of dishes, desserts, or beverages. Common examples include sprinkles, chocolate shavings, and fruit slices. These decorations not only add color and texture but can also contribute to the overall flavor of the food. In baking, edible decorations like fondant and icing are often used to create intricate designs on cakes and cupcakes. Additionally, edible flowers and herbs can be used to garnish plates, making them more attractive and inviting. These decorations are popular in both home cooking and professional culinary presentations.
