9 Cute And Easy Pineapple Platter Ideas
Pineapple is one of the great fruits to make a platter with minimal decor. On the page, I have a super easy decor for pineapple platter ideas. I like easy decoration without much effort. We don’t have to be so artistic to create a great pineapple presentation platter. For the best result better to choose a pineapple with fresh and beautiful leaves but it is not always possible. I have a few simple ideas and took photos to share with you. The first idea on how to make the lantern is more impressive to serve for evening events and the rest of the pineapple platters we can serve any time.
1. Romantic Pineapple Lantern Platter Idea
This idea I saw in a small cafe many many years ago. This is really clever and cute idea! We use empty pineapple skin as a candle cover and slices of pineapple serve around. It is so cute and romantic in a dark room. I wish I can make nice photos in a dark room. I tried a few times and the photos come out too dark and have no colors. I am going to describe how we can make the pineapple lantern without special tools. I used only 2 knives. This way I made so many in the past. I wish I knew about the pineapple corer slicer many years ago, this tool really makes life easier to cut pineapple easy and fancy way. Check out this page, really life-changing tool to serve pineapple (video) ⇒ How To Use Pineapple Corer Slicer To Garnish

Technique
1. Wash very good pineapple before cut it. Bottom of pineapple discard. Cut the top with crown, set aside.
2. Make a cut with a long knife and cut out the center of pineapple with a bread knife.
*It maybe sounds complicated with 2 knives, but bread knife is the best for me to remove nicely and even the center of pineapple.
3. Make a cutout in an order you like around.
4. Place a candle or candles on the plate.
5. Cover candle with pineapple. Place the crown on the top of the pineapple and arrange slices around.
*I used real tea candles as well. Works great too.
2. Pineapple Platter With Candle
So many garnish ideas for serving pineapple! We can make very romantic pineapple platter in just a few minutes! Of course, you can add a few other fruits but I left as is just to show how cute it as is on a colorful plate. Cut pineapple in circles and make a candle holder. We can use real tea candle. I used on the photo, LED light tea candle. I suggest for a kids party use LED candles.

Place pineapple around the crown and stick cocktail picks in the center for your guest’s convenience and decoration. After you slice pineapple (without pineapple corer) the center can be removed with round cookie cutters or 1-inch corer.

9. Easy DIY A Pineapple Tiered Plate Stand
I like the idea to use pineapple to make two tiers plate. I used 2 disposable plastic plates and kebab skewers. We can use not edible parts of the fruit to make the platter and slices serve as dessert for guests. Another option serve whole fruit as the center of the platter and cut out the flesh after the event and freeze it to use later.
