Make a Resurrection cake, then embellish with details to make it look “real”--a cookie “grave stone,” a chocolate “pebble” path, green coconut grass, or Oreo crumb “dirt.” Cornflakes or other cereal make a good ground cover, too. Make trees from celery hearts, carrot tops, broccoli, or fresh herbs such as parsley or rosemary. An alternative is to use fake miniature trees that are made for train model sets or miniature houses.
If you prefer all sweet things, use icing or candy to create flowers or a vine on the grave. See below for step by step instructions for making palm trees and weeping willow trees.
