Do you want to present an original bouquet that will not wither and become a delicacy? No problem!
Do you want to present an original bouquet that will not wither and become a delicacy? No problem! Give an edible bouquet! Seasonal vegetables, fruits, berries, sweets, sausage and even pickles will do!
For those who don’t have time to mess around, we advise you to take a stick of sausage, hunting sausages, a branch of viburnum (irgi, mountain ash), wrap this case tightly with paper and tie it up. Celery stalks with leaves, leek, French loaf, carrots with a sprig are also suitable here.
If you are going to eat the bouquet quickly, then you can tinker with cutting. You will need long wooden skewers, on which we will fix pieces of cheese, sausages, pickled mushrooms, olives and gherkins. Then we tie the sticks with tape, wrap the structure with wrapping paper. By the way, herbs such as parsley, cilantro, dill, as well as mint and lemon balm quickly wither, so it’s better not to use them in bouquets. Soft and crumbly cheeses are also not suitable.
Heavy structures with vegetables and fruits on sticks can be stuck into a base ball made of steep salt dough. For a glass of flour, take half a glass of salt and dilute with water to stick together and take shape. This dough hardens over time, so use it right away. Take a box, tin can or vase, on the bottom of which you need to put the dough. Wrap the entire box with pretty paper or just the dough in a glass vase.
Ginger, beets, eggplant, zucchini, garlic and chili are perfect for an edible bouquet!
A simple bouquet of young carrots with a green tail or small beets with tops, as well as celery, a broken branch of tomatoes with fruits, tie up with a bright ribbon and give! They look very original and in themselves.
It looks great in bouquets cut along a head of purple cabbage, complemented by greens. Turn on your imagination and take a closer look at the products on the market or at your dacha. Anything narrow, long, or light with little juice will do, and yes, it shouldn't spoil too quickly!
Use apples, pears, strawberries, grapes, kiwi for fruit and berry bouquets. Some fruits can be cut in half and skewered cut side up; kiwi, for example, looks great. Place the fruit cut can be sprinkled with lemon juice or pour over chocolate, and then sprinkled with confectionery powder or coconut flakes. Grateful for edible marshmallow bouquets - they can be supplemented with a fruit and berry composition.
By the way, when you pierce citrus fruits, juice will flow, so the base at the puncture must be sealed with transparent tape or wrapped with cling film. Peaches, apricots and nectarines are best avoided. And do not wash the berries before forming a bouquet. And no super-ripe fruits and berries!
Cabbage, garlic, mushrooms, figs, roses and lettuce - an incredible combination, but it looks luxurious! Use a small, light, young head of cabbage. Try to build a similar bouquet and give it to the hero of the day. We are sure that your bouquet will immediately become one of the most photographed and discussed gifts!
In autumn, quince and small pumpkins will go, which will undoubtedly decorate any edible bouquet. Attach a congratulation and a simple recipe for quince jam to the ribbon of the bouquet. Come in handy!
Asparagus will serve as a wonderful green addition to bouquets, it does not need to be pierced on skewers, it holds well and does not fade. Plus, it's a delicacy!
For edible bouquets, you can use a dense wire frame, which we will later hide with wrapping paper. Complement bouquets with branches of rosemary, thyme and tarragon.
Experiment, in case of the first failures, you will only win - you will eat seasonal vegetables and fruits and replenish your body with vitamins!
