Can I assemble these kabobs ahead of time?

You can prep components ahead, but don't assemble too early! Here's my method: cut all fruit and cake cubes the night before, storing them separately in airtight containers. The cake stays fresh, and the fruit won't make everything soggy. Then just thread them together 1-2 hours before serving - easy peasy!

How do I keep the cake from crumbling when skewering?

Oh boy, I've had my share of crumbly disasters! The trick is using slightly stale cake (day-old is perfect) and threading gently. Push the skewer straight through the center of each cube - no twisting! If your cake is super fresh, pop the cubes in a 200°F oven for 5 minutes to dry them out slightly first.

What's the best way to transport these to a party?

After one tragic kabob spill in my car (RIP, beautiful skewers), I perfected this method: arrange assembled kabobs tightly in a baking dish, cover completely with plastic wrap, then secure with a rubber band around the dish. The kabobs stay upright and protected. Bring dip in a separate container - nobody likes a dip disaster!

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

I don't recommend it - frozen fruit gets too mushy when thawed. But if you're in a real pinch, thaw completely first, pat dry EXTRA well with paper towels, and use immediately after assembling. Better yet? Keep some canned pineapple in your pantry for emergencies - it works surprisingly well!

How long do leftovers last in the fridge?

Honestly? They're best eaten within 4 hours of making. The cake starts absorbing fruit juices and gets soggy overnight. If you must store them, disassemble the kabobs and keep components separate. The cake cubes will stay good for 2 days in an airtight container, while the fruit should be eaten same-day.
