Tomato Rose Garnish Adds Simple Elegance to Plate

Add a special touch to any dish with a simple garnish like a tomato rose bud in this picture of a Caprese salad below. One of my fans made this after watching one of my how to videos on fruit carving and vegetable garnishing. Watch the video here: Tomato Rose Bud Garnish

Tinkerbell Fruit Carving

Haven't had much time to do many fruit carving recently but my niece always requests a fruit bowl for her birthday party with a carving to match her theme so of course I made sure I found time to make her this Tinkerbell fruit bowl with edible flowers cutouts and strawberry roses.

Small Decorative Pumpkin Idea

 

I found this simple pumpkin idea floating around on Tumbler and thought it was a cute project for a small decorative pumpkin without a lot of work or supplies.

3D Pumpkin Carving Practice

My 3D pumpkin carving skills got a little rusty from last year so I popped in my Ray Villafane Pumpkin Carving DVD for some practice!

Ray Villafane Pumpkin Carving Tattoo

I was surprised to see pumpkins at my local Wal-Mart on my last trip, the farmers market can not even give me a date that they will have them but yet here sits pallets of pumpkins ready to carve! I bought one not even having a plan as when I would have time to carve the pumpkin or what design I would attempt on it but for $4 I would figure something out. 

When I got home, I dug through my carving supplies until I found my pumpkin carving tools and designs that had been put away for months. I also found this Ray Villafane carving tattoo that I bought last year and forgot about, has anyone tried one of these yet? I might just try this pumpkin carving tattoo and do a video review of it to see if it truly is easy … what do you guys think?

If you haven't already, check out Ray Villafane's Pumpkin Carving ... it's quite awesome!

Valentine's Day Ideas - Romantic Garnishes

I put together a play list of my romantic fruit and vegetable garnish YouTube videos to share with everyone. These four videos are full of fruit carving and vegetable carving ideas that would be perfect for a Valentine's Day dinner. The fruit carving video lessons show you how to make roses out of strawberries (and then chocolate dip them), roses out of tomatoes and other romantic garnishes like hearts and flowers.

I figure if one person asks a question, there are more people wondering the same thing but will not ask. Please add your question to the comment section below and I will be answering all your questions soon!
