Fruit bouquets can make unique centerpieces.
Fruit bouquet classes will allow you to teach others make an exciting fruit bouquet. A fruit bouquet makes a pretty alternative to a centerpiece made out of flowers, or the typical fruit salad. Fruit bouquets are fairly simple to create and after learning the basics, your students can begin to make arrangements of their own, varying the fruit and the basic design to create lively, seemingly sparkling, fruit bouquets.

Instructions
1. Instruct the members of your class to each cut a small watermelon in half lengthwise. Then have them scoop out the insides of one of the halves of the watermelon with a melon baller. Place the other half of the watermelon to the side to use as a base for the fruit bouquet.
2. Instruct your students to place the fruit in a bowl and then have them put it aside for later.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with a cantaloupe, putting the melon balls aside for later.
4. Instruct your class to cut the skin off of a pineapple and cut the pineapple into slices that are between ½ to 1 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter that is shaped like a flower to cut out pineapple flower shapes. Brush each slice of pineapple with lemon to help prevent browning of the pineapple.
5. Demonstrate to your students assemble the fruit by putting the pineapple flowers on skewers until all the pineapple flowers are gone. Use six skewers for this step. Follow the pineapples with alternating strawberries and grapes. Use four strawberries and three grapes on each of the six skewers.
6. Instruct your class to assemble four more skewers. On these skewers place the cantaloupe balls, red grapes, and watermelon balls in an alternating pattern.
7. Encourage your class to finish the bouquet by placing each of the skewers into the other half of the watermelon. Place the bouquet on a platter and line the platter with kale leaves.
