Fresh Fruit Edible Arrangement


Pretty much pick your favorite fruits in season and use cookie cutters, mellon ballers, decorative cutters, and knives to achieve variety in flowerish shapes. Attach the fruits to kabob scewers using a longer and a shorter to give different lengths.

Special Notes:
I wish I had looked at my sample while actually putting together my arrangement. I would have attached the flower pieces of fruit on an angle instead of putting it in the side. I looked online for samples to follow using Eddible Arrangements and it brought up a bunch. The mount for the scewers I used was a Granny smith apple dipped in lemon juice. It was a great firm foundation and gave great support. Using a taller container to put them in also rather than shorter is good. This is my first attempt at something like this and It was tall and the sticks were in full view. Play around with this when it isn't for a special occasion and then you can spike the fruit pieces more than once to adjust if necessary to achieve the look you want then when the real occasion comes you will have worked out the flaws.
