Fruit centerpiece?

Does anybody know where I can find a centerpiece gourmet kit, like, a kit that comes with designs tools so I can shape fruits into like, flowers, hearts, etc so I can make a nice fruit basket or fruit centerpiece.





Thanks

Fruit centerpiece?
This is what I know-


Fruit carving is a popular Thai pastime


I buy my tools individually at gourmet/kitchen type shops and get instructions online via food network and other places (want to do a watermelon-there are sites just for those, same with apples(I make turtles) radishes make cute mushrooms!!! A kit will run you about $150,they come with a book or two and the tools, I just could not afford them, that is why I started small and slowly accumalated the tools and keep checking the net. Here is an example

I work in alot of different hotels and some very pretty centerpieces are lemons,limes or granny smith apples dropped into a tall vases very simple but elegant. Hope this helps
Reply:I would try Pier 1 to gte the flowers, fruits, etc. and I would go to walmart or a craft store to get the tools. A local craft store might have a kit to make the centerpeice, that isnt to expensive, if you can%26#039;t find anything try looking on a search their might come up some websites or local stores.
