After the general foundation is laid, layers of prosciutto, salami, bacon or whatever cured meat and cheese variety is then used to adorn the bready palace. Many social media users have used parmesan to act as snow. You can even use hearty vegetables if you’re so inclined. Pretty much nothing is off the table for this architectural appetizer.
