If you don't have a star cutter, you can cut them free hand with a sharp paring knife or break the chocolate into shards once it is set. Store this garnish tightly wrapped in the refrigerator as humidity will cause the popping candy to melt.Alternate garnishes include sparklers, anything red white or blue, flags (edible or non-edible).

If you don't want to take the time to make the white chocolate whipped cream, whip 3 cups of regular heavy cream with 3 tablespoon of powdered sugar and proceed with the recipe. You can also use whipped topping and fold in fresh blueberries.
