Your guests will be impressed with the effort you put into these flowers and the gorgeous presentation of your carved flowers.
In the first section, Nita shows you how to peel a watermelon for carving, using either a knife or a ceramic mega-peeler. The second section teaches you how to use the corrugated U-cutters to define the edges of your petals, giving them an intricate wavy texture. She also tells you how to correct any mistakes, like the accidental cutting of petals. The carved watermelon can be displayed whole, or the flower may be cut out to display on its own.
These fresh fruit carvings will stay attractive for up to a week in the refrigerator, if stored correctly. In this DVD, Nita shares her recommendations for storing and serving these beautiful carved flowers.
To complete this project you will need a watermelon, and fresh greens if you choose to use them in your display.
