Making Fruit Bouquets Like the Pros - Believe It

Fruit bouquets are the latest trend which has slowly phased out the classic fruit basket. Aside from it being visually appealing as a decoration, it is also nutritiously and deliciously edible! It is regularly bought at the store. There are professionally-made ones which can be expensive, but believe it or not, they can be made at home. Commonly used at parties, they serve as both table decor and finger food.

They can be included in party menus or in just about anything to spice things up. The first thing you need to do is to prepare the ingredients needed to make the fruit bouquet. You need fresh fruits like whole pineapples, cantaloupes, melon and strawberries. You also need a bunch or two of red and green grapes. Bamboo skewers, cutting board, cookie cutters, knives, peeler, melon baller, a vase or pail and florists foam will also be used.

First off, you need to clean the vase or pail you are going to use. Put the florists foam into the bottom of the container. The amount of foam to be used should be enough to support the entire bouquet, but should not be seen over the rim. Prepare the fruits to be used by rinsing them first. Peel off the skin of the fruits as necessary and remove seeds and inedible parts.
