This onion flower was made by Muskah Fedaie.

Here is how Muskah used the onion flower to decorate a serving platter.

These pretty onion flowers were made by Anna Nguyen. She added the fancy carrot center as taught in the Onion Lotus Flower lesson

These pretty vegetable calla lilies were made by 101 Course student Weronika Tymich. She assembled them into a pretty arrangement.

Anna Nguyen carved carrot stamens for her vegetable Calla lilies.

This watermelon flower is Anna Nguyen’s first. This is a simple way of making your first watermelon flower and is taught in our 101 Course.

Pro caterer Deborah Cheeseman has been carving for several years now but did start as a student of our 101 Course for Beginners. The honeydew flower that you see on the bottom left was made using the technique taught in our Watermelon Flower lesson in the 101 Course. The watermelon rose in the bottom right is taught in the our 101 Course as are the pepper flowers shown in the upper tier.

Anna Nguyen assembled the Yam and Turnip Flowers and the cucumber leaves taught in the 101 Course in a pretty butternut squash vase of her own making.

Anna used the same vase to make an arrangements of yam and turnip flowers along with radish and pepper flowers also taught in the 101 Course.

Student Rama Vaddi made this brightly colored arrangement of double layered petal flowers from bell peppers.

Here’s a different view of Rama’s bell pepper flower arrangement along with a little oasis made from peppers and carrots.

Weronika Tymich sent in this pretty chili pepper arrangement as she learned in the 101 Course.

Muskah Fadaie did a lovely job of shaping these Anthurium style flowers from multi-colored peppers

Rani Patel made simpler bell pepper flowers and added curvy asparagus spears to make a visually appealing vegetable arrangement.

Muskah made this bold and simple arrangement of leek flowers. Striking isn’t it? They remind me a the drought tolerant type plants we are seeing a lot of these days in California.

Muskah’s vegetable arrangement features green onion spray flowers as well as pepper flowers. He added fennel greens to add that wispy fern like look to the bouquet.

Student Rani Patel made this pretty plain petaled honeydew Lotus with carved flower center. This was a different variation of carve flower center. The added babies breath flowers are a dress it up nicely don’t you think?

Anna Nguyen took the techniques for carving a honeydew lotus and carved this pretty flower from a cucumber. It was just the right size to fit in her butternut squash vase. (Although almost everything shown on this pages is taught in the 101 Course, this vase design is not taught in the 101 Course for Beginners.)

Weronica Tymich’s first radish flowers.

Here you can see how Weronika made an arrangement of her radish flowers pictured above.

Anna Nguyen used her radish flowers to make a beautiful platter decoration along with green onion curls and carved leaves.

Anna Nguyen’s first individual honeydew rose

Anna’s first watermelon carved with Roses, Buds and Leaves.

This lovely watermelon carved with roses is by 101 student Rani Patel. She took the roses, buds and leaves techniques and “fancied” them up by adding the hearts to the design.

This photo shows a different view of Rani’s pretty double heart design filled with carved roses. It’s so pretty, isn’t it? Perfect for a wedding or engagement part of a bridal shower.
