When Should You Decorate A Cheesecake?
A cheesecake should be decorated after it has completely cooled down in the refrigerator and set to its desired firmness. Decorating it too early can cause the decorations to sink or melt due to the warm cheesecake. It is best to decorate the cheesecake just before serving or a few hours before to ensure the decorations stay in place and remain visually appealing.
