Yahoo Finance These fruit and vegetable carvings take food presentation to a whole new level
Fruit and vegetable carving is a visually mesmerizing phenomenon that’s seeing a revival on TikTok. From flowers and birds to even furniture, these five aesthetic fruit and vegetable carvings take food presentation to the next level.
1. Orange and berry flower baskets
These orange and berry flower baskets are made to impress. The basket shape is created by carving out the top left and right corners of the orange, leaving a sliver in the center for the handle. Once the orange meat is removed and cut into cubes, TikToker @mcsarkeagxygmv makes the flowers by intricately cutting cucumber, strawberries and grapes in half with zigzag edging meant to resemble petals. Finally, they weave orange slices around the perimeter of each basket.
