Include in your list beautiful berries, such as raspberries and blueberries. Plus green grapes and pomegranates.

We used germinated sweet lemon basil from our garden to garnish the buttermilk pancakes. But if you cannot find it, use mint leaves instead.

Step by step on how to prepare the whipped cream

The whipped cream for decorating the Christmas wreath mini pancakes requires to be stiff for piping and creating a nice presentation. We used two piping bags and two tips (one French tip and one round tip).

The whipped cream comes together with heavy cream, vanilla, confectioner’s sugar, stabilizing or stiff components such as cornstarch, gelatin or agar-agar, pudding mix, or milk powder.

Spreading butter to the warm hotcakes

Before decorating the buttermilk pancakes, place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Keep them moist by spreading some butter and allowing them to cool. This will prevent the whipped cream from melting.
