To create a fruit and berry basket you will need:

• a pineapple;
• kiwi;
• oranges;
• grape;
• Strawberry.

Before starting to form an edible composition, fruits and berries must be washed and dried. The fruits must be fresh, without any damage.

1. Cut the pineapple into 2 parts so that the bottom is larger. Carefully cut out the pulp with a knife, cut it into slices of 1-1.5 cm. Using curly cookie cutters, cut out flowers from them.
2. Cut the citrus into slices.
3. Divide the kiwi in half with a curly knife.
4. We string each fruit on wooden skewers so that they are the shortest for strawberries and oranges, medium for kiwi and a part of grapes, and the longest for pineapple flowers.
5. We fix the skewers in the pineapple basket.
6. We make the core for the flowers using grapes, attaching them with short skewers to the flower.

For a woman who respects sausage products and cheeses more than sweets, you can make a "salty" bouquet. The main thing is not to use it as the main gift, but only as an addition to the festive table. A lady with humor will appreciate such a present and use it for its intended purpose.

To make a "salty" bouquet, you need the following materials:

• a rectangular piece of styrofoam (15 cm x 10 cm);
• craft paper;
• bamboo sticks;
• scissors;
• packing material (cellophane);
• decorative red tape;
• plastic gloves.

The edible bouquet is filled with:

• smoked sausages;
• salami slices;
• smoked cheese in a loaf and pigtail;
• sandwich and hard cheese in slices;
• wheat and rye buns;
• parsley.

The manufacturing process is as follows.

• We make the basis for the composition from foam and craft paper.
• Further, all work must be carried out with gloves. Hunting sausages and cheese sticks are pinned onto skewers.
• To form the flowers of the calla lilies, take a piece of smoked sausage and wrap it in slices of hard cheese. To secure, we tie the structure with a thin cheese thread, which we extract from the pigtail cheese.
• To make roses, lay out 5 smoked slices in a row, after which we twist them in a spiral, fix them with a thread of pigtail cheese.
• Cut rye and wheat buns into slices. We prick each of the elements on skewers.
• Insert calla lilies in the center of the base, next to them - roses. In order for each element to be clearly visible, it is necessary to adjust the length of the skewers.
• Fix the pieces of bread evenly along the composition.
• We fix long cheese sticks and smoked sausages.
• The final stage is the decoration of the bouquet with parsley.
• We wrap the composition with cellophane and decorate with a ribbon.
