A friend of mine recently asked me to create a fruit platter for her offices' monthly birthday party. I had done smaller versions of something similar, but nothing close to this scale. My daughter Becca helped to create this piece that began to have a life of its' own. I had seen various companies versions of the fruit platter and decided that it couldn't be that difficult to recreate. Turns out, it wasn't. It just took a lot longer than anticipated and was a beast to transport. To duplicate this design, simply create fruit kabobs of your choice on long pre-soaked, wooden skewers and secure them between the pineapple leaves. The fruit on the platter were created on either toothpicks for a smaller sampler or on 6" wooden skewers. Lemons, limes and oranges were sliced and stacked then mounted on the side of the pineapple to create a fruit garnish. Total time to create:2 hrs.
