Cake Plate and Pumpkin

Cake Plate and Pumpkin

  • pumpkin (or assortment of fall fruits)
  • leaves, grapes, berries

    Arrange one large pumpkin (or assortment of fall fruits) on a pedestal cake plate. Garnish with small twigs of berries, ivy strands, and a few fresh or preserved fall leaves. Hang a few bunches of mini champagne grapes over the edge of the plate.

      - Tip: If necessary use heavy toothpicks dipped in oil of clove (available in a pharmacy) to help hold rolling fruits togther (oranges, apples, etc.) The oil of clove or oil of cinnamon should make apples stay fresh longer.
      - Tip: Use unusual fruit for interest (pomegranates, fits, kiwi, star, etc.) For another way to use fall fruits, see our One Bowl Arrangements.
