Prep your fruit. Choose any fruit you would like, but select about three to five different types. Selecting fruits that have varying colors is also important so that each layer has an appealing visual contrast. Clean, peel, slice and cube each fruit as necessary so that they are all in bite-sized portions.

Place the first fruit of choice into the bowl. Use a clear bowl so that you can show off the contrasting colors. Use a cubed and sturdy fruit for the first layer, like pineapple, that will not get smashed by the other layers.
