Need ideas for garnish for pumpkin cheesecake ...

We're serving pumpkin cheesecake at a banquet where we are not allowed to use the kitchen except to serve, so we must bring everything in prepared. I was going to pipe the company's logo in chocolate and have it standing up on top of the slice; however, we've had a surprise heat wave, so it's just too hot to do that. Now, I'm running out of time and ideas. What is something simple yet dramatic that I can use instead?

Thanks!

what about a stencil

placing a stencil of the logo and then dusting it with finely ground cinammon or nutmeg on top of the cheesecake
or making shards of toffee or nut brittle and placing on each segment

when life hands you lemons, make lemon gelee, lemon meringue pie, or any other dessert your heart desires

Every November we have a pumpkin cheesecake on the menu. We plate it with a sprinkle of spiced candied/toffee pecans and long strips of candied orange peel.

If we are going off site, we make up tiny marzipan pumpkins
