Aside from planning carefully as to what recipes are we going to prepare, we also make extra effort on how to put everything pleasing and in place. We do proper table preparations; the color of table clothes and all proper party etiquette are well-taken into consideration. One thing that puts beauty into our tables is a fruit sculpture. As follows is a list of some of the most beautiful pieces of this splendid work of art.

Cool Sculptured Papaya

Carved half-ripen papaya inlayed on uniformly-sized small pieces of ice is just perfect and the main ingredients complement each other. The ice instead of a dull and lifeless sight becomes romantic and reminiscent of those early winter snow in December whose whiteness twinkles in moonlight. In the same manner the half-reddish and half-pinkish oranges and papaya become prominent like fresh morning flowers while the green leaves makes the sculpture complete and so cool you’re like in gentle walk on a filed of snow. This fruit sculpture befits any social gatherings.

The carving of the petals, whose sizes orderly varied according to positions fashioned this pineapple into a yellow flower. With the green leaves at the background, incurious onlookers would mistake this fruit sculpture for a real flower that you could smell its sweet fragrance though it might smell flat. Its romantic appeal apparently makes it smell like a yellow rose.

A Jackass

This sculpture indeed gives an impression of a cooler ambience.
