Edible flower arrangements make an attractive table centrepiece for a party, shower or special event. These arrangements are not challenging to make and reward you with an attractive and whimsical centrepiece as well as a healthy snack. One edible fruit bouquet should take 30 to 45 minutes to make, depending on your knife skills and comfort handing food. The arrangements don't last long (since fruit can spoil), so keep them cold until you need them or make them the day of your party.


Place your flower cookie cutter in the centre of the fruit. Push down to cut out a flower. Discard the scrap outside of the flower.


Pick centres for your flowers, using contrasting colours. Berries or grapes make no-fuss centres or you can use small melon balls. Make as many centres as you have flowers.


Slide the fruit flower onto the skewer so it rests against the gumdrop. Then push the flower centre (for example, a red grape) onto the skewer so that it camouflages the skewer end.

Repeat this process for each flower to create a bouquet.
