Carved watermelons

Hi there -

Anyone know where we can purchase carved watermelons in SW Ontario/Toronto?

Check these puppies out!

It's common in India at weddings and parties, and I've seen it at Maroli. There are a few pictures here:

bumping this up - does anybody know of any private caterers or individuals who do fruit art/carvings/arrangements? looking for something more creative than the offerings at Edible Arrangements to take the place of a birthday cake for someone on a low cholesterol diet.
thanks in advance!

You could try contacting Pango's Table Art (http://www.pangostableart.ca) Edible Glamour (http://www.edibleglamour.com) or Couture Fruit Creations (http://toronto.nowtoronto.com/MiscSer...).

hmm - you should inquire at the Metropolitan hotel or other hotels that cater to asian clientele - lai Wah heen may have a fruit carver on staff who does this. Alternatively, you can check with George Brown College. They have a course and therefore an instructor who may be able to point you in the right direction.

you may be able to special order them from Pi-Tom's on Alexander St. The women who chefs at PiTom's did a full year of fruit carving as part of her chef's training in Thailand -- it's a serious part of the traditional curriculum there.
