Strawberry Cars - fresh strawberry

Method

• Cut off the sides of the strawberry so it lies flat on its side with a flat top.
• Cut the front down if you want a more sloped car, depending on the shape of your strawberry.
• Save the pieces, though, and cut one so it becomes the back seat of the race car.
• Use a large pastry tip (I used a Wilton 1M) to cut out watermelon rind wheels.
• Use a knife to cut the front wheel a bit smaller than the back.
• Alternately, just cut the rind with a knife to form the wheels.
• Place them beside the strawberry in standard wheel positions.
• Melt the chocolate in a small bowl on half-power in the microwave (or use a double boiler).
• Heat for just a few seconds at a time and continue until melted.
• Dip half the grape into the chocolate to resemble hair.
• Place the grape on top of the race car in the driver position.
• Play, eat and enjoy!
