Ideas for decorating fairy cakes for a funeral needed

[Wills]

My close friend's father has died and its his funeral on Tuesday. I didn't know him nor the rest of her family. I have however been asked whether I would mind doing some "of your nice fairy cakes". How the hell do you decorate fairy cakes for a funeral. What the heck can you put on top? My normal fair of fairys, pirates, etc don't really seem appropriate?

Any ideas?

Flowers?

Did the deceased have any notable hobbies?

I would go for a lavendar coloured icing with one of these violet flowers on top.

Either find out if he had any hobbies or interests and decorate accordingly - golf, sailing, Elvis etc.

Or if you don't know, then stick to something tasteful - plain icing with a bit of piping or some silver balls etc.

I'd go for a white frosting with flowers or maybe stars to embellish them. Keep them simple. Unless like Earlybird suggests you could incorporate a hobby or interest of his...
