Food art for a baby shower :)

My friend Kristina is due to have her baby in September

so we had a baby shower for her this past week.

I was helping with the food and decided to create

a watermelon baby carriage.  So I got my watermelon and

cut into it and scooped out all of the insides.

Here is a picture of the watermelon after I started carving

the sides to give it some character. 

 

 

I then added a handle and used orange slices

as wheels... 

 

 

Once I got it to this point, I cut up the watermelon

that I had scooped out into little squares to put in the basket...

 

 

 Here is a picture of the final product at the shower..It turned out

really well.

 

 

I also found a recipe for cheesecake stuffed strawberries

on pinterest that I wanted to try so I got a package of

strawberries...

 

 

And washed them off and put them on a cookie sheet

to dry....

 

I then made the cheesecake filling for the berries...

 

 

And here is a picture of some of the strawberries stuffed

and ready to be put on a decorative platter for the party.

 

Next, I decided to make some fruit kabobs just

as an added finger food...I took some pineapple chunks, grapes

and bananas and got to work.

 

The final product turned out looking awesome!



 

Here is a picture of the sign that Holly made for the shower..

It says Welcome Kobe.  Isn't it a cute sign?

 

And of course we couldn't have a party without getting

a picture of Kristina standing by the welcome sign : )

 

 

Here are a few pictures of the decorations before

the party began.  It was so much fun helping to plan

this baby shower.  We had a lot of fun with it.
