How to Make Easy Strawberry Roses

Using a sharp paring knife, start near the base and make thin slices around the strawberry, working upward.
Gently fan out the slices to resemble rose petals.
Place the finished strawberry roses in ice-cold water for 5–10 minutes to help them bloom beautifully.
Pat dry and serve.
