The best part? The butterfly comes out beautifully symmetrical because we first cut a single shape and then divide it into two wings. The technique is easy to master, and I guide you with step-by-step photos so you can create your lemon butterfly garnish with ease. A great way to wow your guests with this impressive glass decor!
Technique
- We need a quarter of lemon for one butterfly.
2. Cut off a slice between the skin and fruit. On the top of the wedge.
3. Cut off the bottom of the lemon wedge.
3. To create the shape of butterfly wings, I make V-shaped cut out from the top of the lemon wedge.
4. Cut through on the bottom butterfly.
To make this way cuts I have 2 reasons. First is to hard to cut equally with nice result into the half with one cut. The second reason is we can leave between cuts the skin and when open butterfly like a book, both pieces stay together. It very seldom can be possible with lemon but may work with other citrus fruits.
5. Turn around and cut the top same way.
6. As you can see butterfly comes out so symmetrical.
7. Make a cut in angle as on the photo to hold the lemon butterfly on a glass.
8. Place on glass and enjoy!
Butterfly from lemon is so great garnish on glass! We can also use this technique to decorate other dishes as well. Our limit is our fantasy!
