Cherries stand out nicely when their vivid red color is emphasized on a crisp white plate.
To add a splash of green that accentuates the color contrast, place a sprig of fresh mint next to the cherries.
For a more structured appearance, creatively arrange whole or half cherries in a pattern, such as a circle or a line.
To add complexity and depth, drizzle a coordinating sauce around the edges, such as berry coulis or chocolate.
To give the dish a whimsical, sophisticated touch, garnish with edible flowers like pansies or violets.
