What’s Happening BY ALICIA RESNIK Fabulous Fruit Surprise!! FOR YOUR PERSONALIZED AND PARTY NEEDS Come in and browse our extensive Party Supplies!! 8 King’s Square, St. George’s Email: [email protected] Website: www.surprise.bm Telephone: [phone] C arving delicious, fresh fruit into gorgeous bouquets of flowers is the idea behind Ms. Feronika Suhartono’s business, Edible Creations. “We make fruit arrange- ments for any occasion – like a bouquet of flowers, except you can eat them!” Together with her partner Mr. Jahmar Woods, they specialise in creating beautiful arrangements from locally purchased fruit. They also make fruit kebobs, chocolate dipped strawber- ries, fruit topiaries and carve flowers or “Happy Birthday or Congratulations” into cantaloupes and watermelons. The couple saw huge success at the 2014 Agricultural Show where custom- ers lined up to buy their fruit popsicles, fruit cups and fruit kebobs. One little boy had 3 fruit popsicles. They knew that fruit was their thing! This success encouraged the couple to search for a new business location. Ms. Suhartono found the Visitor’s Service Center at the Botanical Gardens when searching for a location for her daughter’s birthday. The rest is history. Edible Creations moved in and, in August, they opened a second business, The Garden Café. The café offers salads, sandwiches and wraps – all made to order and freshly prepared by Chef Ajit Jadhav. They also offer an all-day breakfast featuring pan- cakes and waffles topped with fruit. The couple would like to see sum- mer bbq’s and “happy hours” outside on the patio. They plan to celebrate all the holidays – Halloween with pumpkin carving, Good Friday with fish cakes and kite flying! Edible Creations’ fruit arrange- ments are made to order. “Any occasion where you might give flowers, you can give fruit,” says Ms. Suhartono. The Garden Café space can be rented. “We’ve had 3 events here,” says Mr. Woods. There’s plenty of parking space and the location is beautiful for receptions, baby showers, and birthdays. We cater, offer a DJ service and set up and break down the area. The Garden Café is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Saturday from 9am to 3pm. Once the tourist season begins, they plan to open on Sunday for a traditional codfish breakfast and brunch. Contact Edible Creations, and The Garden Café, at 236- 4484.
