How to Make Edible Garnishes - Foodie Flicks
Remember those beginner knife skills we learned last week? That was just step one, friends.
Now it's time to get a little more crafty with that blade and morph food into edible garnishes that are artistic triumphs. The video above, courtesy of Howcast, details how to turn produce and chocolate into veritable sculptures.
In a "Wallace & Gromit"-style video, we are shown a few of the super-quick, super-easy ways to make things look snazzier -- orange-wrapped cherries skewered with a toothpick for a cocktail, tiny mushroom curls, a quick tomato skin rose and even sinfully delicious curls of chocolate perfect for a bowl of ice cream.
When food art is this easy, how can you resist?

forgot my favorite - the radish mouse for a cheese plate.
i like to add in peppercorn eyes (use the knife tip to dig holes into the "face" of the mouse)
