I explaned how to make a fruit bouquet and a mini fruit garnish for drinks, using simple cut methods.

The TV show will be on air later. But I prepared a photo tutorial for my blog on making a mini fruit garnish for cocktails. You can read it right now by scrolling the page down! :))
You can also watch the last year Christams TV show, where I explained how to do a Christmas tree of fruit and sweets. Though it's in Russian, I am sure you will get the method.

Christmas Fruit Garnish
Tutorial
 |
| mini fruit garnish for Christmas drinks |
You will need:
small mandarin
red apple
Martini glass
paring knife, scissors, toothpicks.
Instruction (click the images to enlarge):
1. Cut a small mandarin in half
2. Gently separate the skin of the flesh and turn the skin inside out.
3. Don't worry about the broken skin. Just cut off the damaged parts or make a zigzag cut with scissors.
4. You will get a nice mandarin star.
5. Cut 4 thin slices of the red apple.
6. Insert a toothpick into the slices to attache all sclices together. Make a fan of them.
7. Pin the mandarin star on the top and insert other toothpick close to the first toothpick to secure the fruit garnish. Use the gap between the toothpicks to set the garnish on the glass.
Pin a small grape or a berry on to the final garnish to hide a sharp tip of the toothpick.
This fruit garnish perfectly fits a martini glass.

Fruit Mosaic Technique. Olimpic Symbol and Logo
The fruit displays were done for Christmas party of Midglen Logistics Sakhalin company.
I was asked to create a fruit buffet in olympic theme. The design should also express a corporate spirit.
So I suggested the olimpic symbol for a big fruit platter and company logo for watermelon carving design.
I used a mosaic technique for the olympic platter and a big fruit medal with logo image.
No special tools required.

Sakhalin island is snowing again. And again, I work.
The last weekend we had a snowstorm. I have written before that I work in any weather.
This time I was engaged for two days with fruit carving decorating.
I will post the fruit display in my next article. Today I'd like to share photos I took while walking to work.
