1. Loaded fruit platter
This fruit platter might look fancy, but it’s actually super easy to throw together. TikToker @fruitsandflowers.alm begins by lining one side of a large, circular platter with roses. Next, they add a row of cut pineapple slices alongside the roses, followed by sliced oranges and blood oranges. Then they place the pineapple’s crown at the center of the tray, along with a coconut carved in half with coconut cubes spilling out of it. Finally, they line the other side of the platter with sliced watermelon, dragon fruit and honeydew before filling in any gaps with berries, grapes, kiwi and mango carvings.
