Persimmon Rose Garnish - Fruit Carving Art

Persimmon is "food of gods", has come from Orientral world. Persimmon is Japan's national fruit and that's where it originated. Persimmons are red-brown or orange fruits that grow on trees like plums and look like tomato. 

 

This is what you learn about persimon from the net sources. 

What I learned about this fruit is that it is a good material for carving beautiful flowers! The persimmon rose garnishes could be amazing addition to a fruit dislay. They are bright, absolutely edible and delicious. If you are a fruit carving artist do not ignor this fruit.

Carved Melon Flowers

I got a call from a client who asked me for a secial fruit dislay for his wife's birthday. He said that he liked my watermelons with floral patterns, and wanted to have it decorated with carved apples and flowers made from fruits, as the dislay was supposed to be instead of real flower bouquet.

I started to figure out what I can suggest to my client from the season fruits and got an idea to carve big white flowers out of melons. 

I used a melon baller to remove the melon seed and a thai knife to carve the flower petals. 

The carving technique is the same as for carving a flower from a vegetable starting from the skin toward center.

Flower Wedding Monogram In Fruit Display

Tiny white flowers for initials, Chinese cabbage for chrysanthemums and daikon for roses.

C and M initials are carved and decorated with flowers to complete a wedding monogram.

 

This is a very special design done for Crystal Themed wedding. Maria, the bride, said that they were going to have several decorations made of crystal, as crystal broche at her bridal bouquet and crystal initials on top of wedding cake.

I used the idea of crystals for the watermelon design. The tiny flowers attached to the letters look like crystals.  The special thing about the design is the white flowers. They change color when lighten with colorful disco lights.

Color Challenge

As I mentioned in the title, there was a turquois themed event. To match the color challenge, green roses with a blue center were added to a display. The colors gradation was a right decision, as I found later at the site, the gradation's idea was used for some pieces of the head table decoration.

Wedding Fruit Platter Decoration

I decorated the wedding fruit platter with a boat carved out of a squash. It's filled with raspberry and red currant, and garnished with the exotic frangipani flowers.

Vases, boats and vessels carved of vegetables look very good at the fruit platters. They add more space to the platter and make 3-dimencional look.

Sweet Tower With Berries

Dear Reader,

In my blog you have seen different types of towers made of fruits, macaronies and sweets. 

My latest tower creation is a mix of fruits and baking. To be precise it is a mix of berries and baking.

This tower looks like a real cake garnished with different berries. The largest berry in here is a watermelon.

The tower's layers are decorated with bisquits covered with white icing.

This display was designed for a  45 year old woman's birthday party which was a Berry Theme Party. It was a challenging work because I had a task to present nicely the berries as strawberry, red currant, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry and watermelon. I had no better idea than the cake tower.

See more towers in this blog:

The inscription in watermelon shares a popular russian saying that in the age of 45 a woman has a second youth and she is good again as a berry.

Age of 50 is considered as Golden Age for both male's and female's birthdays. See a fruit display "Golden 50'" .

Asian people celebrate 60 year old birthday. This date is a very important day for them. I often do fruit displays for 60 year old partyies. Usually these events are decorated in golden color here in my city.
