- Stick the top of the strawberry with the green leaves onto a wooden skewer. Your berry should be upside down.
- Use your knife to cut three to four vertical slices around the base. These will be your outer petals.
- Move further up on the fruit and add three to four more slices in another row. Try to stagger your slices for natural looking petals, as shown in the photo.
- Continue until you reach the top.
- Slice an x into the tip of the berry.
- Arrange your completed “flowers” in a vase. Enjoy.
Pro tip:
Add chocolate dipped fruit to your bouquet for a real show stopper. Use mint sprigs to fill in empty space. Tie a ribbon around your vase for a final touch.
