Before starting the decoration process, it's a good idea to determine the main concept or theme of the cone that we will make.

The concept in question is what will guide us in choosing colors, types of decorations, to the types of side dishes that will be used. For example, if you want to celebrate the Indonesian Independence Day, we can carry a red and white theme with Indonesian ornaments.

Then after the concept has been determined, the next step is to prepare all the necessary ingredients.

Starting from the serving containers (such as accommodates or dishes), bases from banana leaves, various types of side dishes (choose dry side dishes to make the cones last longer), tumpeng rice, to various complementary decorations. Make sure all ingredients are in a fresh and ready-to-use condition.

In order for the cone that you make to look perfect, the main key is to print rice when it's still warm. Use a special mold of the cone or the right size. Once the rice is filled, press it slowly so that it looks solid and flat. This technique will keep the cone sturdy and attractive when moved.

Please note, with a touch of nature it will make the cone even more special. Take advantage of the beauty of banana leaves as a base or wrapper.

Also add a variety of fresh flowers and colorful fruits as decorations. This combination of colors and natural texture will provide a fresh and aesthetic impression on the cone.

Lastly, play in shape and color! Arrange various flowers, vegetables, and fruits in such a way that they create a unique pattern.

Please note, the cone is not just a dish, but a work of art full of meaning. By understanding the symbolism behind each element, you can create cones that are not only beautiful but also deep.
