A beautifully decorated table immediately lifts your spirits and makes you want to quickly sit down and start eating.
Spectacular cutting of fruit plays an important role in this; it favorably emphasizes and complements the sophistication of the celebration. A fruit plate is served with alcoholic drinks, coffee and tea, and also as a separate dessert.
On a note! The artistic cutting of fruits, which has become so popular lately, is called carving.
But to create beautiful fruit slices at home, it is not at all necessary to learn carving skills. It is enough to have fruits, a sharp knife, various beautiful molds and plates, as well as skewers and toothpicks on hand.
And, of course, a little inspiration for creating a real fruit masterpiece will definitely not hurt us.
Preparing to create a fruit creation
- When choosing berries and fruits for the table, be careful and picky. Since the fruit will lie on the table for at least several hours, it should remain beautiful. Therefore, it is necessary to choose fruits that are not damaged and always fresh. They should be dense and elastic.
- Prepare the fruit plate just before the celebration so that it is exposed to the air as little as possible. Prepare lemon to drizzle over slices.
- For slicing, you need a sharp knife so that the slices are thin and even.
- Before you start working magic on fruits and berries, wash them thoroughly.
- Fruits that produce juice should be placed in a separate container.
Rules for decorating the table with fruit slices
When designing fruit slices, it is important to adhere to certain rules. Famous restaurateurs have revealed some of their secrets.
- Place apples and pears so that their pulp has minimal contact with air, otherwise it will darken. You can sprinkle the slices with lemon juice.
- Place the melon and watermelon with the peel, but in small and thin pieces. And if possible, remove all the seeds from the fruit.
- Sliced citrus fruits can be served either in slices or in circles. But the last option should be with peel.
- Peel the kiwi and mango and cut into thin slices. Before peeling kiwis, you will need to wash them well. Since they do not darken from the air, they can be used to decorate apples.
- Serve small plums and apricots whole. If the fruits are large, cut them in half and place them on a plate, flesh side down.
- Serve grapes only in bunches. You can give it a casual look by hanging part of the branch from the plate.
- Place cherries and cherries on a plate with a sprig, and strawberries with a “tail”.
- Cut off the prickly skin of the pineapple and remove the core. Cut into columns or small semicircular plates.
How to serve fruit beautifully
Decorating fruits and berries for the holiday has its own nuances. There are a lot of children at almost every celebration, and they shouldn’t get their hands dirty, otherwise their clothes and everything around will be covered in fruit pulp and juice.
Therefore, the right solution would be to serve the goodies on skewers, in cones, or in baskets.
Advice! If you are decorating berries and fruits in the form of a picture, then place bright skewers nearby so that it is convenient for guests to string fruit pieces without getting their hands dirty.
Canapes
Spectacular canapés are obtained by using contrasting berries and fruits.
The base of the mini sandwich should be firm. An apple or a piece of cheese is perfect for this role.
Salty and blue cheeses go perfectly with sweet fruits.
Plot presentation
This type of serving involves creating real pictures or figures from pieces of fruit. They come flat, that is, the fruit is laid out in slices on a plate. Or bulk ones, using skewers, which is a more labor-intensive process.
You can place a bright palm tree on a plate, making it from banana, kiwi and tangerines.
You can also cut out figures or funny faces using cookie cutters. For small children you can make a hedgehog, Winnie the Pooh, Cheburashka, or a peacock.
This presentation option will make you remember cartoons, funny pictures, or come up with something of your own. In addition, the plot may be related to the occasion of the celebration, for example, a multi-colored Christmas tree for the New Year.
Mini kebabs
The convenient portion method is suitable for both children's and adult parties. Place the fruit on a large plate or tray. It will be the basis. Melon, pineapple, large pear or grapefruit are perfect. In addition, you can use: bananas, kiwi, grapes, apples, peaches, berries. They need to be washed and cut into portions.
Next, the fruit can be strung on skewers. Stick delicious kebabs into the base and serve to guests in this form.
The advantage of slicing in the form of kebabs is that you can use canned berries and fruits, and not just fresh ones.
Serving mini-kebabs without a base is also good. Simply place it nicely on a tray and top it with melted chocolate or condensed milk. Ideal to present fruit skewers with scoops of ice cream.
Cutting mini-kebabs in the form of a semicircle looks bright. If you make sure that the colors of the fruit on each skewer match in layers, you will get a cheerful rainbow.
On a note! You can add pieces of cheese to the kebab; it goes well with fruit.
Baking baskets
Fruit baskets look great on the table. Try making a fruit salad with yogurt or whipped cream, then spoon the salad into tartlets. Fruit jelly in baskets looks unusual.
Instead of tartlets, baskets made of puff pastry or shortcrust pastry are perfect.
In addition, you can cut a basket from a melon or watermelon and fill the citrus peel with fruit. You will get interesting boats. It all depends on your imagination.
It is interesting to decorate the top of the baskets with grated chocolate, coconut or chopped walnuts. You can mix the fruit with ice cream pieces, but then store them in the freezer before serving.
Instead of baskets, you can use a waffle cone, first fill it with whipped cream or sour cream. And then place the berries with pieces of fruit into the airy white mass. This appetizer flies off the table at breakneck speed.
On the plate
Try thinly slicing oranges, kiwis, apples, pears using a slicer and beautifully arrange them on a plate in the form of various patterns or shapes. The plate can be decorated with mint leaves or fresh flowers.
Use atypical cuts, your guests will be delighted. And for convenience, insert colored skewers into the slices.
Fruit in fruit
These can be individual baskets, for example from an orange. Or there may be baskets for general serving; melon or watermelon will do.
Fruits can be cut and seasoned with honey, cream, syrup and in this form sent to the basket. Or you can, if they are not large, leave them whole.
Serving berries in a pineapple basket looks very impressive. It is necessary to cut off the top of the pineapple and remove the pulp. Place cherries, grapes, strawberries in the cavity.
You can also cut out the pulp and fill the apple with small berries. Sprinkle the top of the apple basket with cinnamon or cut out a heart from the core of the apple and stick it on a skewer into the basket.
How to decorate fruit slices
At celebrations, it is customary to beautifully decorate all dishes, cuts, and desserts. For this we use:
- Powdered sugar;
- Cinnamon;
- Coconut flakes;
- Natural flowers;
- Flower petals;
- Fresh mint leaves;
- Marmalade;
- Marmelshaw;
- Oriental sweets;
- Candied fruit;
- Nuts;

Powdered sugar and cinnamon are used to powder any fruit slices. They add a fresh accent and well mask the air-darkened flesh of pears and apples.
Coconut shavings also look impressive when serving fruit as a theme.
Pieces of marshmallow or marmalade go well with melon and strawberries, they can be put on skewers and served with sweet fruit.
Fresh flowers and mint leaves are inserted into fruit slices at your own discretion. And the plate is sprinkled with rose petals.
Pomegranate seeds help create contrasts; add them to sliced kiwi or banana.
Marmalade, candied fruits and oriental sweets are laid out on a tray with fruit in random order. Create colorful shades, don't be afraid!
Sprinkle lemon slices over coffee and serve with strong alcoholic drinks.
To decorate the table, beautiful molds, tableware, skewers, and dessert plates will be useful. But choose them so that they match in style.
For inspiration and the emergence of new ideas, take a look at the Internet; sites are filled with various illustrations about carving and colorful buffets.
On a note! Bake your own fluffy waffles. Take the finished waffle and decorate it with slices of figs, bananas, and kiwi. Drizzle chocolate or maple syrup over the fruit and cover with a second wafer. Add whipped cream to waffles. This dessert will go away in no time.
A wide selection of berries and fruits in supermarkets allows you to turn any ideas and fantasies into reality and make fruit slices an important part of the holiday table.
Fruits and berries are, without a doubt, the best of desserts. They are delicious and extremely healthy. They are refreshing after a hearty lunch or dinner. Fruits and berries are also very beautiful - they are actively used in the decoration of various desserts, snacks and even hot dishes. But these gifts of nature themselves, arranged in vases, can become the main decoration of not only an everyday, but also a festive table. However, there is no limit to perfection: even fruits and berries can be served in such a way as to make the feast even more beautiful. We offer several options for original serving of fruit for the holiday table.
How to serve fruit beautifully?
1. “Story” presentation
Children will especially like this method of serving fruit and berry desserts. If you are planning to serve fruits and berries at the children's table, take one of these ideas into service. Perhaps these samples will inspire you to create your own “paintings” or “crafts”, unique and inimitable. Fortunately, the color and consistency of fruits and berries are very diverse, which means there is a lot of room for creativity.
“Story” fruit and berry desserts can be divided into two groups: flat and volumetric. The first include “flat” figures or plot pictures laid out on a plate of fruit slices and whole berries. Such plates can be served to everyone individually or decorate communal tables, especially buffet tables.
The plot can be chosen in accordance with the occasion (for example, a fruit tree on the New Year's table) or the theme of the decor (for example, a palm tree or a rainbow of fruits will support summer, beach, etc.).
Examples of such fruit plates:
It is more difficult to make three-dimensional fruit shapes. Most likely, you will need small skewers or wooden toothpicks. Elements of carving (“carving” of fruit) will also come in handy. The work is painstaking, but its decorative effect is worth the time spent. Children can be served fruit “animals”, and the common table can be decorated, for example, with flowers or a Christmas tree made of fruit.
Examples of such fruit serving:
2. “Fruit skewers”
This is one of the most popular ways to serve fruit for both children and adults. Slices of fruits and berries are strung on skewers - this allows you to divide the dessert into portions, add order and, of course, decorate the table. After all, fruit “sticks” look very elegant.
How to serve them to the table? There is a simple solution: stick fruit skewers into a large fruit - for example, melon, watermelon, pineapple, grapefruit, pomelo, etc. In this form, the fruits are placed on the table. At the end of the meal, when it’s time for dessert, the fruit skewers are pulled out of the “stand” and placed on plates.
How to serve fruits and berries beautifully? Make kebabs!
Fruits and berries in kebabs can be interspersed with cubes of cheese, marmalade, soufflé, etc. The kebabs are served with sweet sauce, honey and ice cream.
3. Fruit in fruit
This is another very labor-intensive, but very tasty and beautiful way to serve fruit. Or rather, fruit salads. Fruits are cut into small pieces. Small berries can be left whole. The fruit and berry mixture is stirred. You can season it with honey, yogurt, sweet sauce or slightly melted ice cream.
It is also necessary to prepare containers for fruit. These can be either large “baskets” for general serving, or small “cups” for individual servings. Large fruit baskets are made, for example, from melons or watermelons, and individual baskets are usually made from oranges, but they can be made from apples and lemons.
How to serve fruit salad? In fruit cups!
The fruit must be washed well, cut in half (or cut off the so-called cap) and almost all the pulp removed. It is chopped and added to the salad, which is used to fill the resulting “bowl”.
Of course, you don’t have to remove all the pulp. Simply creating a cavity is enough. In this case, the table is first decorated with common “baskets,” and at the end of the meal, when it’s time for dessert, the salad is laid out on individual plates and the base is cut.
The advantage of this method of delivery - not only in its aesthetics, but also in the unusual taste. After all, fruits and berries are saturated with each other’s juices and aromas, acquiring amazing flavor nuances. For example, the same melon that contained fruit salad during dinner will be perceived completely differently when it is freed from its contents and cut into slices.
If the fruit salad was dressed with ice cream, you can briefly put it in the freezer before serving.
You can be creative in preparing fruit “cups” and “baskets.” If you have the desire and ability, you should give them an original form.
4. Fruits and berries with baked goods
Containers for fruit and berry salads can be made not only from fruit, but also from dough. Serving fruits and berries in tartlets and shortcrust pastry baskets is a traditional dessert.
The fruit and berry salad for this dessert should be seasoned with whipped cream or buttercream. You can sprinkle the treat with coconut or chocolate chips on top.
5. “Fruit and berry plate”
The most commonplace option is to place chopped fruits and berries on a large flat dish. But banal does not have to be boring! Even such a simple serving of fruits and berries at the table can be made amazingly beautiful! To do this you need to become an artist for a while. Alternation of colors, atypical cutting, creative approach - this is the secret of success.
