Add a little extra love to your Valentine's Day desserts with a pretty strawberry rose garnish. Follow the step-by-step photos below and after just a few minutes of careful cutting, TA-DA!, you'll be ready to wow your guests! Who doesn't love artfully carved fruit?!
Using a sharp paring knife, make four thin slices on the outermost part of a strawberry, folding the "petals" down as you go. Be careful not to slice all the way through your strawberry but deep enough that you're able to fold out the petals far enough to achieve the flower shape you want.
Your strawberry should look something like this.
In the middle of your petals from step one, make 4 more slices to complete layer two of petals. These petals should fill the gap between your first layer of petals when folded out.
Now it's starting to take shape!
Repeat step two to create your third layer of petals. This is the most difficult step as you're now working with the smallest bits of strawberry so it's crucial to be working with a very sharp knife and to be careful not to accidentally cut your petals off. Since this layer is so delicate, you really won't have to fold these petals out much.
Ta-da! You did it!!!
