Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Decorate with fresh fruit, pie filling, powdered sugar, almonds, you name it! Plain is good too! Marianne used to decorate by making thin chocolate "leaves" by spreading melting chocolate on lemon tree leaves which when peeled off left the vein leaf look. She would place whole strawberries in the middle and the chocolate leaves around.
