Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 strawberries
  • 1 slice watermelon
  • 2 kiwis
  • 1 slice cantaloupe
  • 2 slices mango
  • 33 mini candy eyes
  • 50 grams dark chocolate
  • curved sprinkles

Instructions

  • Slice the fruit into equally thick pieces.
  • Cut 6 petals and 1 round center for each flower you make.
  • Melt the dark chocolate.
  • Once the chocolate has cooled down a bit, add it to a piping utensil or bag, and pipe out the stems onto parchment paper. You can add a few chocolate leaf details, too.
  • When the chocolate has set, arrange the flowers and top with candy eyes and a curved sprinkle for the mouth.
  • To make the bee, use a small petal cutter and mango. For the wings, I used a metal straw and for the stripes a tiny bit of plum peel (you can use chocolate too). Top with a small candy eye.
