I was thinking I would be able to whip this up for under $15…But it’s December…Translation: No Local FruitHere’s what I bought:Print
How To Make An Edible Arrangment…
Ingredients
Scale
2 Pineapples $1.98
2 Cantaloupes $4.40
1 Honey Dew Melon $3.47
4 Apples FREE
1 Orange BARTERED
4 Bananas .68 cents
4lbs. Grapes $6.99
2lbs. Strawberries $7.98 (Major Rip-Off!)
Bamboo Skewers $1.49
Green Floral Foam $1.50
Instructions
Stuff green floral foam in container a secure it in place (I used rocks)
Cut your cantaloupe in half.
This way…In half again…
And each half into 6ths…
Trim the guts
Do the same with the honey melon…
Spear your fruit with bamboo skewers…
Wash the strawberries and lay them on a towel to dry…
Skew the grapes…
Use a melon ball cutter thing to cut half circles out of the extra cantaloupe.
Place some floral foam in an extra container and secure it in place…
You’ll need this for the fruit you intend to dip in chocolate…
Skew the berries…
Practice with a not so perfect strawberry…
I used dipping chocolate that I found at the grocery store in the produce section.
We also dipped the apples slices in white chocolate…
And a few marshmallows…
When I ran out of skewers I started to fill the top of the container with kale leaves… and also added a few leaves here and there in the center to hide any exposed skewers…
Notes
And that was it!
A helpful serving tip:
Place a tall glass next to the fruit bouquet for the fruitless skewers.
