Decoration
To decorate the fruit cake with chocolate chips and blueberries, you can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top or add a dollop of whipped cream. Alternatively, you can create a simple glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and milk until smooth, then drizzling it over the cooled cake. To make it more festive for Mother's Day, you can add fresh blueberries and chocolate chips on top of the glaze. Another option is to use a piping bag with a star tip to pipe whipped cream around the edges of the cake and add blueberries and chocolate chips in the center. You can get creative with the decorations based on your mom's taste and preferences, and have fun with it!
