Abstract
The present invention provides a product, a method and a kit for decorating the surface of fruits and vegetables that have an area adapted to display a design. The product comprises 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 acting as the surface for a pattern formed thereon and 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 containing the pattern is contacted and adhered to the fruit or vegetable; a user transfers the pattern thereon to the fruit or vegetable by cutting; component 2 is then removed from contact with the fruit or vegetable thereby fixing and revealing only the transferred pattern on the fruit or vegetable. The pattern may be drawn onto component 2 or component 2 may be pre-printed with the pattern.
