# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you hired a professional caterer, but you'll actually make it in less time than it takes to shower.
  • Everyone gravitates toward it at parties because it's beautiful enough to photograph and delicious enough to keep coming back for more.
  • You can adapt it completely based on what you have—there's no right way, only your way.
02 -
  • The glass has to be stable or it will shift when someone reaches over it, which means the whole effect falls apart—test it multiple times with your actual board and glass before adding anything.
  • Prep your sliced fruit no more than an hour before serving because even with lemon juice, pears and apples brown faster than you'd expect, and browning ruins the clean, fresh look.
  • The size of your board matters more than you think—too small and everything looks cramped, too large and it looks sparse; aim for leaving maybe an inch of bare space around the edges.
03 -
  • Prep all your ingredients in separate containers before you start assembly so you're not hunting through the fridge mid-board and losing your momentum or vision.
  • Use odd numbers when placing items (three clusters of cheese instead of two, five almond piles instead of four) because it looks intentional and balanced in a way even numbers never quite achieve.
