Lemon Pyramid

What you need

  • 1 glass
  • 1 dish
  • 1 pyramid made of synthetic sponge
  • Iron wire
  • 20 little sticks
  • 9-10 coloured leaves of cordyline ( plant belongs to Lily family)
  • 20 lemons (or limes)

What to do 

Put the spongy pyramid on a dish, a bit larger than the pyramid’s base.
Make some “U-pins” with the iron wire. Envelop the pyramid with the leaves and fix them with the “U-pins”. The first layer, prepared with leaves, must be tightly stuck to the pyramid.

When the pyramid will be completely covered, set a second layer of leaves, using the “U-pins” (set on the top and on the base of each leave), in order to give a sense of softness, very supple like a wave. Be careful to harmonize the leaves’ gait, following the shape of pyramid; you should start from the top (narrower and sharpener) till reaching the base, larger and full of waves, with a bow-result closing.

Curiosity

Fruit Pyramid is a decoration of 16th century. The one we suggested you is a modern version, but with a major lightness!
