How to Create Edible Fruit Bouquets

Bouquets and floral arrangements serve as attractive and sometimes fragrant gifts for a variety of occasions. Making an edible bouquet is an attractive and delicious spin on the traditional floral item. Edible fruit bouquets comprise a variety of sweet fruits and fruit pieces, arranged in a striking and bold fashion. A decorative and edible bouquet of fruit is a gift you'll enjoy creating with a variety of materials.

Things You'll Need

• Disposable kabob skewers, 10
• Vase
• Pineapple chunks
• Purple grapes
• Honeydew melon balls
• Cantaloupe balls
• Watermelon balls
• Strawberries

Instructions

1. Place four purple grapes on a single kabob skewer. Slide them to one end.

2. Place two pineapple chunks on the skewer, on top of the row of grapes.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with five of the skewers.

4. Place the fruit-topped skewers into the vase, with the fruit aimed upward.

5. Insert two cantaloupe melon balls onto each of the remaining sticks. Place two of each type of melon ball above the cantaloupe balls on each stick.

6. Insert the sticks into the vase containing the other fruit sticks. Place them in sporadically, to create splashes of color.

7. Stick a red strawberry on top of three of the sticks containing fruit. This creates a new texture and a splash of deep red berry to accent the bouquet of fruit. It doesn't matter which sticks you stick the strawberries on, as long as they are spread apart throughout the bouquet.

Tips & Warnings

• Embellish the edible bouquet with a card to the recipient, tied to a ribbon around the vase.

• Keep the edible fruit bouquet in a freezer until you present it to the recipient so that it stays fresh and vibrant in color.
