Flowery Fruit Basket

For an eye-catching edible centerpiece for your brunch table -- and a healthy counterpoint to Easter's sweet treats -- make a flower basket out of fresh fruit.

Use a cookie cutter and a melon baller to sculpt cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon into fun shapes, then thread the melon pieces onto wooden skewers along with berries and grapes.

Stick the skewers into a base made from the rind of an overturned melon. Hide the melon base inside a pretty Easter basket. For a final touch, add stems of mint speared on skewers to provide the perfect hint of spring green.
