I just wanted to share with you the finished product of my centerpiece creation from yesterday's luncheon. It (of course) didn't turn out exactly as I had envisioned, as I accidentally bought pineapple that was already cored, so I couldn't cut the slices into flowers as I had planned. But alhamdulillah with a little bit of improvisation and keeping Rule #7 in mind (Don't Sweat The Small Stuff) it turned out pretty well, and was a big hit with our guests. Not to mention it was delicious!
It was very easy to make. I simply cut the melon in different ways; using a melon baller for the end pieces, and cutting other pieces into long sections or bite-sized squares. The pineapple I did the same way (although I usually cut it in rounds, and shape them into flowers), and the strawberries I dipped in semi-sweet chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate. I used lettuce leaves as garnish, and using kabob sticks I stuck the pieces of melon into a piece of foam inside of a pretty basket. I used the extra strawberries as a garnish around the basket and set the entire creation on a nice ceramic plate to match the rest of the table settings.
Ma'Salaama, and Happy Creating!
Fashionably Yours,
