1. Select Your Fruits: Choose a variety of colorful fruits that appeal to you and your guests.
2. Wash and Prepare: Rinse all the fruits thoroughly under cold water. Cut larger fruits into bite-sized pieces. Use a melon baller for creating decorative fruit balls.
3. Prepare the Base: If using a foam cone, insert it into a sturdy base like a plate or a cake stand.
4. Skewer the Fruits: Take wooden skewers and start threading the fruits. Alternate colors and shapes for a visually appealing look.
5. Arrange on the Base: Insert the skewers into the foam base, ensuring it’s stable and visually appealing. Start from the bottom and work your way up.
