My husband and I always have trouble finding gifts for his parents. This past weekend we had his mother over for her birthday. Since it was a little last minute and they are on a no carb diet, a cake seemed a little inappropriate. I saw the adds for edible creations and looked into them - a little overpriced for what they are!
I bought some flower shaped cookie cutters, a melon baller and a crinkle cutter and shaped my own fruit to make her an edible bouquet. I know she likes blueberries, but I wasn't sure on her preference of the other fruit so I got all different types - strawberries, pineapples, grapes, cantaloupe, honeydew, and apples. I got the flower pot at Michael's on sale and it looked really cute!
It seems that the apples, strawberries and blueberries went first, so next time I may have to try a "berry bouquet" and perhaps dip some of the berries in chocolate. Mmmmmm.

What a great idea! I think it looks better than the store bought ones. I'll have to remember this the next time I need to bring something to a party.
