# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required, just pure creativity and the satisfaction of arranging something that looks like edible art.
  • Works for any occasion: a dinner party showstopper, a kid-friendly snack, or an elegant brunch centerpiece.
  • Naturally vegan and gluten-free, so everyone at your table can enjoy it without worry.
02 -
  • Pat your fruits completely dry before arranging—moisture makes them slip and slide, ruining those careful lines you've created.
  • Slice your apple and kiwi no more than 15 minutes before serving, or they'll start to brown and lose their vibrant green appeal.
03 -
  • Arrange your platter on the serving board before guests arrive so you can present it with pride instead of fumbling with fruit and platter in front of everyone.
  • A light misting of water just before serving makes everything look dewy and fresh, like it was plucked moments ago.
