Servings:
as many as needed a sweet, all fruit treat
Ingredients:
watermelon
banana
blueberries
lemon juice
toothpicks
fondant cutter set
Preparation:
1. Cut watermelon into 1/2 inch slices, cut into desired shapes with small fondant cutters.
2. Cut banana into slices, cut into desired shapes, sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. Stack banana on top of watermelon.
4. Skewer blueberry onto tooth pick and stick into watermelon and banana.
If possible, use those cute flag toothpicks.
If making for small children, you can use cut straws or drink stirrers
The fondant cutters I used are from Wilton and are available at larger craft and department stores.
This is cute for Memorial Day, or Fourth of July :)
