The term "fruits of labour" took on new meaning for a Scottish woman who was so inspired by a fruit bouquet she saw while visiting Toronto, she just had to go home and start her own business.
But first, Ally Thornton had to learn how to carve the bouquets she fell in love with. She extended her visit to Toronto and took an adult learning course in fruit carving. An article that ran in the
Herald Scotland doesn't mention where she took the course, but there are a number in the GTA including
Edible Glamour,
Art Chef, and
Golden Chef, to name a few.
The Edinburgh-based
Apeeling Fruit Bouquets has been commissioned for fruit displays at numerous weddings and corporate customers, and is now in talks with a catering company at the upcoming festival season.
"I'm loving it. It's great being your own boss," she says in the article. "I've turned a hobby into a business."
