Totoro Watermelon Carving

My Neighbor Totoro (Tonari no Totoro), a popular animated family film, is a theme of the fruit display today.  

The Totoro watermelon and fruit platter are made for 10 years birthday party of a girl Diana. The display became a surprise for the girl and her guests. 

There are the film's characters made in fruits at the display. Totoro carved in watermelon, Mei carved in apples and Black Soots made of plums.

When you carve apples remember to spray the white details with lemon juice. Use the citrus sprayer for this.

I wanted to make Catbus as a sweet bonus, but had no time for that... Maybe next time :)
