Has anyone made a naked cake and decorated with winter berries? Any recommendations for what type of berries to use? Thanks!

Winter berries tend to be cranberries, sloe, hawthorn and rowan, all pretty but not really edible in their raw state.
You could go blueberry and blackberry dusted with icing sugar.
Have you searched pinterest or similar for ideas?

Yes seen a lovely cake and has strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and possibly redcurrants. All dusted with icing sugar. just unsure how readily available they will all be in the week before Christmas!

I'm sure you can get them all year round these days.. but they won't be cheap as flown in from abroad
