Edible Arrangements

This was a FUN project I did just yesterday. I made this edible veggie arrangement as a refreshment for a church meeting. I got the idea from someone else at church and then looked up how to make them on-line. Simple as that!













Here is a list of veggies I used:
*carrots
*radishes
*sweet potato
*red pepper
*green onion (to cover the skewers with, also the frilly green below the cauliflower)
*cabbage (cut in half, in the bottom of bowl to stick skewers in)
*turnip (large white and purple flowers)
*broccoli
*cauliflower
The BIG orange flowers are slices of sweet potatoes with bright red radish roses for centers


After slicing the veggies, especially the sweet potato and radishes, I placed them in baggies to keep them from drying out and getting too brittle.
I had to keep the veggie flowers in cold water so they wouldn't wilt while I was getting the other veggies prepped for the arrangement.

This was not that hard, a few suggestions I have are: 1) use a mandolin slicer for your flower petals (sweet potato and turnip) so they are consistently the same width...you want them as thin as you can without them breaking, 2)use a bowl instead of a basket like the video shows...you never know where that basket has been, and 3) be creative with your left over veggies, that is how I came up with the frilly green onion/califlower idea.

Serve these beautiful arrangements with dip and you will have a HIT on your hands...every one last night couldn't stop telling me how cool it looked and wow great it tasted...presentation is half the meal, right?!

Here is a link to the website I used to get my ideas.

HAPPY CREATING and EATING TOO!!
