This adorable fruit salad will have your guests talking!

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 12 Servings

Ingredients:

  • watermelon
  • cantaloupe
  • colored icing
  • toothpicks
  • whip cream
  • coconut
  • oranges

Preparation:

Cut a watermelon 1/2 the way down the center & 1/2 way lengthwise to resemble a carriage stroller, hollow out the watermelon, saving some. Or you can use an oval bowl. Next peel a cantaloupe, and prop it up using toothpicks, cut a small hole out for the mouth & insert a pink or blue plastic binkie (or bottle) depending on the sex of the baby. For the eyes & nose, use colored icing. Pour the fruit salad into the container as the body. Cover with whip cream & coconut. Just before everyone arrives spray whip cream to resemble a bonnet. Orange slices make cute wheels for the carriage, use your imagination!
