Fruit 'n' Cake Kabobs Recipe

This is a wonderful hors d'oeuvre for any party. I was pleasantly surprised at the tasty toasted cake and juicy grilled fruit.I actually made these last year for my daughters kindergarten class. I wanted something fun for the kids yet healthy. The class absolutely loved them. I didn't have any left afterwards. It's super simple and fun.
