Abstract
The present invention provides a product, a method and a kit for decorating the interior surface of fruits and vegetables that have an area for displaying a design. In a preferred embodiment, the product comprises a nontoxic paint powder and a sheet of materials with two components: component 1 is a sheet of material capable of acting as a release liner for component 2; component 2 is a sheet of material capable of adhering to the surface of fruits and vegetables. The method comprises steps in which: component 1 is removed from component 2; component 2 is contacted and adhered over the decorative carved image on the fruit or vegetable; the nontoxic paint powder is placed inside the fruit or vegetable; a user manipulates the fruit or vegetable so the nontoxic paint powder disperses and covers the interior of the fruit or vegetable; and component 2 is then removed from contact with the fruit or vegetable thereby revealing the pattern on the fruit or vegetable and the decorative color from the nontoxic paint powder.
