1
Baby The classic Napoleon is decorated with crumbs of cakes from which it is prepared. To give a more appetizing look, grind one of the cakes into small crumbs and fry the crumbs in the oven until golden brown. Sprinkle crumb cake on all sides.
2
Chocolate. It is better to use dark chocolate for decoration - this will achieve a war effect: firstly, dark chocolate does not melt so much, and secondly, the light bitterness of dark chocolate will add a spicy touch. Put a bar of chocolate in the freezer for 20-30 minutes, then grate the chocolate on a fine grater and sprinkle on top of the cake.
3
Nuts. "Napoleon" can be decorated with nuts. Any nuts, even their mixture, will do. Lightly fry the kernels and chop in a blender until crushed. Sprinkle the cake with nut crumbs, decorate the top with whole nuts.

Powdered sugar. It is better to decorate Napoleon cake with powdered sugar in combination with crumbs. Sprinkle the cake with crumbs, and then using a sieve, sprinkle the cake with icing sugar. Using stencils, you can use cake sugar to decorate the cake with figures.

Berries If you used berries in the cream for Napoleon, you can decorate the cake with them. And although it is very far from the classic dessert recipe, such an ornament will look original and unusual, and the berry taste will perfectly shade the traditional taste of Napoleon.
