Stunning Mother's Day Breakfast
Stunning Mother's Day Breakfast

Ingredients List
- 1 box round toothpicks
- 1 pound red grapes
- 1 pound green grapes
- 1 pound strawberries
- 1 foam cone (I found this in the floral department of Wal-mart)
Directions
I began near the top of the foam cone and stuck half a toothpick in, angled downward so it didn't poke all the way through the cone. On the sharp end I impaled a grape. We used a simple swirl pattern running down the length of the cone, alternating green grapes, red grapes and strawberries.
The beauty of this simple Mother's Day project is that it's so versatile. You could use whatever you'd like for the topiary, as long as it's soft enough to be skewered on a toothpick. Melon balls would be lovely, as would blackberries and blueberries. Or you could go savory and use cherry tomatoes and cheese balls. Any design would be pretty. Any foam shape would be interesting, or even use a mix of several shapes for several kinds of topiaries.
This fruit topiary should last a day or two in the refrigerator, but it would be best to eat it as soon as possible. Especially if you use strawberries””once you wash them, the skin tends to go mushy quickly.
Oh, and this isn't a project for the last minute. It took us about a half hour to make our small fruit topiary. But it should serve 4-6 people and it's certainly a fun presentation.
Someday, if I can find my way back home on Mother's Day, I'll make my mom a fancy Mother's Day breakfast including a fun fruit topiary. She'd love it. Meanwhile, I may have to make one for the next family birthday party.
