Having a party next week and want to make my cheesecake look fab, any ideas how to decorate it please? It will be lemon but no colouring so almost white. I don't mind ordering any decorations or bits and bobs if necessary.
Thanks for any help with this!

just put an edible decoration on it and leave as is- you can’t beat a lemon cheesecake! (Imo)

You could make a snowflake pattern on it.
Or a poinsettia.

Frozen berries

Maybe candied lemon rind in curls, piped whipped cream swirls, white chocolate cigarellos. If you google decorated cheesecake you get some nice ideas on how to set your design out too.

Buy some cranberries and coat them in homemade sugar syrup, leave them to fry a they will come out looking frosted. Put them round the edge of the cake (on top) and intersperse with sprigs of rosemary. If you can find time make some mini gingerbread stars and poke them in amongst the berries too (probably best to do that when you arrive so it doesn’t all collapse on the way)

Dry not fry! Terrible typo. Do not fry the cranberries 👩‍🍳

Sugarfrost some raspberries, cranberries and blueberries and put a pile of them on top, then grate a little lemon rind over

To sugarfrost the berries you make a sugar syrup (equal sugar and water in a pan, stir until the sugar melts). Put the berries on greesproof paper, pour over the syrup when it's warm, but not hot. Then sprinkle the berries with granulated sugar until you're happy with how they look. Leave them alone until the syrup is dry and then decorate with them

Make some green marzipan holly leaves and put a circle of them on the cheese cake.
Get some snowflakes sprinkles and scatter liberally over the cheese cake.
Get some chocolate Christmas tree baubles and put a cluster in the centre of the cheese cake.
Get or make a few miniature pine trees (eg Christmas cake decorations) and put a group of them on the cheese cake.

This!! Ginger goes beautifully with lemon

If you Google decorate a cheese cake for Christmas there are lots of really lovely ideas.
I think frosted berries or grapes looks really lovely with springs of rosemary but my first thought was to make a gingerbread house with small gingerbread trees on top. Put some cocktail sticks in the bottom to help them stand up, but that might have to be a last minute assembly to stop the biscuits getting soft.
You could get fake Christmas trees and create a forest all over the top of the cake, with maybe some little plastic figures of deer and Father Christmas hidden in between.

Gold chocolate coins, piled in the centre or scattered or laid in a pattern would be quick and easy.

Thanks for the fantastic ideas! On this occasion I am going to go with the frosted berries, nice and easy and tasty too 😁
