Beautiful Edible Centrepiece for Christmas

Your Christmas centrepiece should be unique and impressive. A fun and creative way to make a lasting impression with this years centrepiece is to make one that’s edible. Your guests will enjoy sharing (and eating) your artwork that that was made with love.

This is a Chocolate with cream cheese frosting recipe that you can do at home but you have an option to do your own.  It’s a nice touch to bake a load of different flavours for an element of surprise. You can also buy cupcake and arrange it on the tower but your guests will appreciate it more if you do it by your self.
