# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when you actually spent less than thirty minutes.
  • Every guest finds something they love because there's fruit, cheese, sweetness, and richness all in one stunning composition.
02 -
  • Cut everything as close to serving time as possible because exposed fruit begins to oxidize and lose its shine within an hour.
  • A round platter is non-negotiable for this design—anything square or rectangular breaks the geometry and the whole effect falls apart.
03 -
  • If your platter starts to look chaotic, you've mixed too many colors too randomly—step back and remember that repetition is what makes kaleidoscopes work.
  • Keep a sharp knife handy at the table because the best part of serving this platter is watching people ask if they can customize their combinations right in front of you.
