2 months back my friend Mary-Tu Nguyen got a fruit bouquet for our team lunch in our office. I was amazed looking at the way fruits were arranged in a potluck. Since then I was planning to make this bouquet, finally got a chance to do the same for a get together dinner yesterday. Thank you Mary for guidance and tips to make this beautiful bouquet. My friends loved it.
Tips:
Use water melon or cantaloupe as a base. While purchasing the melon check for flat base melons, if you cannot find a flat based just slight cut the skin to get a flat base.
Another option for base is to use foam block and decorate with nice color paper.
Cut 1/4 of the melon and scoop flesh using melon ballers. Remove any juices into a glass and put back the flesh into the base and refrigerate.
Prepare all fruit skewers ahead and keep it in fridge. Use any cookie cutter to cut the fruits/vegetables.
I made radish roses. (followed steps from internet.) You can dip strawberries in chocolate to make it more rich and give a nice color contrast.
Just before your party starts remove the base, fruit skewers. Just be creative and arrange the skewers on the base.
