1. Apple Swan
You'll Need:
- apple
- toothpicks
Here's How:
1.1 Halve an apple. Cut a wedge out of one half on both the left and right sides. Cut another wedge out of these two wedges and repeat twice.
1.2 Fan out the sliced wedges to create wings.
1.3 Cut a swan's head out of the other half of the apple.
1.4 Insert a toothpick into the swan body to attach the neck and use apple seeds for the eyes. Carve a swan comb for the head from the rest of the apple and make a slight indent on the part of the head where you want to place it.

2. Cucumber Cactus
You'll Need:
- cucumbers, ends cut off
- wooden skewers
Here's How:
2.1 Take ⅔ of a cucumber, cut it in half, and place two wooden skewers on either side of the cucumber half. Make ⅕-inch slices along the cucumber until you reach the end (the skewers will prevent you from cutting all the way through). Repeat the entire process with the other cucumber half.
2.2 Remove the skewers and shape the sliced cucumber into a wreath. You can hold the ends together with a toothpick.
2.2 Build a small tower of cucumber wreaths and top with a carved flower radish.
* * *
3. Mandarin Orange Rose
You'll Need:
- mandarin orange
- 1 mini cucumber
Here's How:
3.1 Peel the mandarin orange and cut the pieces in half lengthways.
3.2 Fan out the halved pieces in a flower shape on a plate.
3.3 Cut off ⅓ of the mini cucumber and cut it into 4 equal, slanted pieces. Carefully carve and fan out the 4 pieces as shown in the video and place the cucumber leaves around the mandarin flower.
* * *
4. Apple Compass
You'll Need:
- apple
Here's How:
Cut 4 wedges around the four sides of the apple stem and fan them out.
* * *
5. Melon Butterfly
You'll Need:
- 1 melon (such as muskmelon or cantaloupe)
Here's How:
5.1 Cut the melons into slices and cut each slice in half.
5.2 Cut ¾ of the way down along the inner section of the rind about to create the wings. Then cut the rest of the fruit as shown in the video.
5.3 Cut the flesh of the fruit in half lengthwise, making sure to leave a think skin of the rind. Unfold the melon and your butterfly is ready to spread its wings!
* * *
6. Cucumber Stairs
You'll Need:
- 4-inch cucumbers, ends cut off
- wooden skewers
- cherry tomatoes
Here's How:
6.1 Peel the cucumber on one side and cut it in half.
6.2 Make ⅕-inch slices along the cucumber until you reach the end and push a wooden skewer through the middle. Fan out the cucumber "stairs" and top the skewer with a cherry tomato.
* * *
7. Leek Star
You'll Need:
- leek
- toothpicks
Here's How:
7.1 Make angular slits along the leek, as shown in the video.
7.2 Push a toothpick into the middle of the leek slices and fan out the leaves. Stick the leek star on a cucumber hunk and top the toothpick with a cherry tomato.
* * *
8. Orange Bear
You'll Need:
- orange
- wooden skewers
- cloves
Here's How:
8.1 Cut off the top and bottom section of the orange and carefully cut two small circles off the bottom orange slice for the bear's ears.
8.2 Slice the top orange lid at the top and insert the ears. Place two cloves above the stem for eyes and the bear face is done.
8.3 Cut out the flesh of the orange along the inner rind. Remove the core and cut it into cubes.
8.4 Cut a wedge and a gap from the orange peel, creating two arms. Cut a small space in the back to fix the bear head into place and fill the hollow space with the orange cubes.
8.5 Stick the remaining bottom orange lid on a wooden skewer and push it into the side of the bear for a cute little parasol.

“Mom, please, just give me the apple.”
No son...
No son. I'm not done with it yet
JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN APPLE!
NO
APPLEEEE!!!
*Demonic screeching*
Parent: maybe if I make it look like this the kid will eat
Kid: it’s a work of art I can’t eat this
There truly is a balance between looking good enough to eat and looking so good that you can't bare to eat it because you'll ruin it.
Lol😂😂
Mhm it has to be good but not too good because if it’s too good then you aren’t good enough to eat it
IT'S TOO PRETTY
True
Can I just say, what I'm most envious of in this clip is not the skill or the patience to create these works of art. It's not the production value of the clip. It's just how satisfyingly sharp that knife is
I too want to know where they acquired that knife.
Thank you
@@Brievel Buy a sharpening stone. Your knife will thank you.
@@Brievel they're Japanese knives. If you live in a city with a decent Southeast or Far East Asian population, you should be able to get them. And I'm sure you can find them on line.
@@delfin7461 unless were talking about the "dollar store" sort of knives, any knife can get this sharp.
"For the love of god, just give me my damn apple already!"

Literally on every Fruit Table at Indian Weddings, lol.
So tru
I guess me and my north-eastern friends aren't indian then 😔
That's what I wanted to say
I guess they do that cuz no one actually wants the fruits right?
True.... In Guwahati too😂😂
Imagination is the most precious gift one can have.
I love how most people here, aren’t actually going to try any of these. it’s just for the visuals lmao
I remember seeing something similar when i was 12 and going crazy making apple swans and rabbits.
That orange animal at the end holding it's own insides was pretty brutal 🤘
Oh, that's uh... Why?
@@SairinEarthsea 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You successfully turned a piece of art into a horror story 😂 😂
😂😂
Why u add this emoji🖕
*me:* tries to follow video
_fails_
_accidentally makes fruit salad instead_
😅
Hey at least fruit salad is delicious right?
... Happy little accidents...

@@dantedemondino420 Very, we eat it in every occasion
Scrumdiddlyumptios: **Makes these videos**

Here I am trying to teach my kids to never cut towards their fingers, and you come out with this...THIS...pure art.
You get the most control that way
@@surthrivingalaska2511 yes until you lose a digit lol
My brain: ok I know how to do it
My eyes：Yup me too
My hands:Noooooo You don’t
Yes
I didn't even try to do it I'm way to tired to do anything
@Umar Farooq dude wtf, you're a disgrace to the muslims

Oh my goodness, 37 years ago, on my Honeymoon my Late Husband bought me a book on Garnishing of Fruits and Vegetables and it came with some “Handy-Dandy” Tools included... I couldn’t wait to have our first dinner party to dazzle his Mother! 😂🤣😂 It didn’t have half of your fabulous tricks. Thank You 😊 for your video, it made me smile and warmed my heart! ♥️
Thats so sweet
😭
😢😢
Jane doe 👁👄👁
I, too, was married 37 years ago, and my mom gave me that book and tool set for a shower gift! I think she gave it to me just so she could borrow it. 😁
I've got no idea how I ended up here, but it's such a nice way to give people a smile while improving my creativity and crafting skills as well.
Definitely gonna try these out =)
We've almost always had videos like this on UA-cam where people were showing off their skills and teaching at the same time but the production level of this is really something else.
Do I know why this was in my recommendations? No.
Did I click it anyway? Yes.
Did I enjoy the video? Yes.
Same😂😂😂😂☺️
Hotel? Trivago.
What did it cost? Everything.
True words

day 353 of quarantine: watching pieces of fruit and vegetables being sacrificed as they’re turned into other-worldly figures
Lol so funny 😂 😁 🤣🥲
Nice comment
Well yes but actually no 👁👄👁
Best way to describe it
U still in quarantine?!?!
Thanks for the tutorial, i did cut the fruits and vegetables using this method in the morning daily, it always took me a couple hours, but now i left my job and now i can cut them without worrying about being late, thanks again.

Well* We'll means we will
@@user-jc8by2wj8g lol, thanks. I didn't catch it.
Yepp, 👍
*I don't have the heart to eat a work of art!* 🤯
But I do, *monch*
I would eat it without a second thought
I do tf
You know that rhymes, right?
You are very poetic😂
It Will make anyone in love with fruits and vegetables 😍😍😍
😍😍😍😍😍
My favorite part of decorative fruit and veggie slicing is getting to nibble on all the little scraps while I work. It's fun
Vegetables looking at the mirror and saying 'voila i'm so beautiful'😄
And then they get eaten, crushed in giants' mouths 😀
LOL 😭😭😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 This comment is soo Underrated.
After getting stabbed
This should come with a disclaimer that all stunts (cutting so beautiful) are performed by experts.
Practice is an option. It'll just take a while.
@@chito4154 dude, I know practice is an option, but so is humility. If you re-read you will understand that I've actually complimented the artist here.
Learn to compliment, and you can practice for that !
@@solomondavid1371 shut up
@@luramirez Ok Melania
Absolutely! It’s too good 👍
*"I don't have a heart to eat a work of art"*

The sliding of apple cuts...💗💗
The timeline at the bottom of the video.. how satisfying it is!!
Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today.
Wooooowwwwww
hey wheres perry?
*Perry theme intensifies*
Nope !! I will do tomorrow 🙈😂😂
Phineas, ferb, wait till mom hears what you’re doing
I feel like lots of kids or novices with passion for cooking could really benefit from this channel.
I would have loved to have access to these kind of fun tutorials as a kid,
so I can "show off" to my family and see some smiles on their faces.
Absolutely stunning, but you showed it so clearly I am sure I can do them. Thank you so much for sharing.
You have mastered the art of ensuring that nobody will object to you playing with your food.
Objectify
These UA-cam recommendations are getting out of hand.
Now if you’ll excuse me I have some fruits and vegetables I need to cut.
Tha youtube fo you man
C G 😂😂😂❤️❤️
I want to know how to cut my fish and chips.
And also find where I left the toothpicks
Why
Did anyone else randomly get this recommended to them? 😅
weird isnt it ? I know I'd make a balls of this .....
well... i dunno about random...lol

Me, a fruit and crunchie veggie fanatic: this is heaven on a platter
Beautiful pieces of work from humble and simple fruits and vegetables!

Wow !
Everything looks fantastic
I am totally thrilled
and very impressed.
Also a great idea for getting kids excited about fruits and vegetables 😉☺️
The video 👍🏻
It's that springtime brunch favorite. The mandarin and cucumber medley.
That bear holding the oranges is next level stuff here.
@mayte 😹
What on Earth am I watching?
*****Few minutes later...
Let me quickly run to the store to get some fruits and vegetables
9 year old me: *makes a mess because im tryna cut fruits and veggies into art*
my mom: but why would you do that?
me: because why not?
mom: but- W H Y ?
I AM SO TRYING THIS TO IMPRESS MY PARENTS 🤩
I appreciate this kind of video because they could've EASILY made it 10+ minutes and gotten more ad revenue, but they decided to make it more viewer friendly and to the point
This is just so fanatically done. The music, the humorous prep, the camera work, the focus on how the cuts are made, the end results, the timer at the bottom. Just... 👏👏👏👏
Wow, never seen ideas like these to cut fruits ands veggies. Simply Superb. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
I love your fruit and veggie sculptures! Very clever and no doubt, fun to eat- :D
Nobody:
Vegans when they invite u to eat and they say they cooked something special:
Vegans never existed until a couple of years ago and most healthy people don't eat meat as a constant diet only on occasion. Herbivores been existing since day one and as someone put it the other day when God fed his people it was with manna from heaven not meat, same with Jesus he multiplied fish and bread. Don't let them divide us with our diet they already got us fighting with people in the same position but are foreign in the land
@@DaI-rx3xg i dunno what you're getting at but it seems you've forgotten that this is youtube
@PRIYANK chilamkuri
I want u to google the difference between vegan and vegetarian.
Guys at least they tried :
@@DaI-rx3xg you do realize fish is meat right?
I was watching this video in the thumbnail for 2 minutes then decided I have to open it up and give it a well deserved like.
Simply wonderful. You have a very special talent. Thank you for sharing.
What a creative way to present. wow!
All I'm wondering the whole video is, can it be eaten ?..
It looks so good I wouldn't want to mess it up 😂
mohan bt plus if you want a couple slices of cucumber, YOU have to cut it yourself.
My question is *how* do you best it? If used for a party, people would have to handle the entire vegetable to pull a section off to eat.
Mary Cleveland Very true. Not practical. BUT you could surround it with pieces that ARE ready to just grab! 😁
That's what all art is...waste of good materials to fake God's creations 🤷♂️
take a picture then eat it then you still have that picture of it
I would end up eating my masterpiece before I finished!!
It’s beautiful when I get married I want a fruit table with decorations like this and a veggie decorations as well
Playing with fruit ang vegies is a great art .
*Artist:So what art do you do for a living?*
*Him:Uhh.. It's complicated*
ironic
@thaNorthStar.com: Cannot make an original reply
Ooohhh get roasted!!!
The proper marking lines for cutting makes great video...understanding easily for everyone. THANK U

Seriously, how does someone even think of these creations? Standing ovation!
Man you've got some insane knife skills Sir. Well done
Up
Wow. What I really appreciate is the line at the bottom which shows us which hack are we on and how much time is it going to last.
How gorgeous this video and how amazing the method is... This is new to me... Tq so much!
Me after I finish:
AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT
*AINOBADYGAHTYMFOHDEH !!*
AIN'T NOBODY GOT KNIFE FOR THAT
There is children suffering for lack of nourishment and there is people playing with there abundance on everything, and when they get bored they start playing with their food, please use your time to do something good and constructive if you have the time and the possibility, help anyone around you to do the same. God bless you for reading.
Lol
If you live in the luxury of wealth and abundance, you are morally obligated to live that gifted life to the max. People that can't feed their children should stop breading or raise their wealth instead of making their problems bigger.
Chapeau!!!! This channel is going from strength to strength, you are incredible versatile as well as inventive chefs. I really appreciate the fact that you don’t waffle on and play with words but the whole video is used to show us how to recreate your dishes. Thank you.
