HOLIDAY SPARKLING FRUIT CENTERPIECE
Beautiful and easy presentation. When we were non kid we back lit the glass cake stand with low candles, now that we have our son we use a small standing night light set just part way under the cake stand to illuminate the centerpiece and keep it kid safe. Not knowing how large you'll make your centerpiece you'll have to guesstimate on the quantity of fruit needed. On occasion I also toast the whole walnuts and while still warm thread (needle and dark thread) them to look like pine cones without the jelly and sugar coatings.

Arrange fruit and nuts on cake stand or platter, building as high and creative as you wish. Place mint, parsley or your choice of greenery in and around the centerpiece. Lightly dust the tops of the fruit and some of the greenery (mint etc) with powdered sugar as if newly fallen snow.
