Fruit Topiary

Charmaine commented on one of my posts yesterday and left me a link to her fancy fruit topiaries. She started with cabbage:

And pounded dowels into it. She used floral foam to hold it up, but you can use more cabbage too. That is what they use for the edible arrangements you can order like these:

I think the cabbage holds up a little better than the foam. I also think the cabbage topiary is pretty darn cute. If you have a whole table full of fruits and veggie the cabbage topiary might look just fine. But back to the fruit topiaries.

She then used toothpicks to stick the fruit into the cabbage. Her top ended up being too heavy, so she took them apart and ended up with this:

and this:

Both gorgeous and perfect for a shower. Or an Easter tea party. Or about any get together that has girls involved! Now I just need someone to have a shower so that I can attempt to make one!
