# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes 20 minutes but looks like you spent hours planning something extraordinary.
  • Zero cooking required, which means no stress and maximum time to arrange it however feels right to you.
  • Guests actually pause and take pictures before eating, which never gets old.
  • It works for breakfast fruit platters, dinner party show-stoppers, or midnight snacking when you want something pretty.
02 -
  • Arrange on a dark or black platter and watch the colors come alive like they're actually glowing—the contrast makes everything pop in ways a white plate never will.
  • Pat your fruit completely dry before arranging; even a little moisture makes everything slip and ruins the careful lines you've created.
03 -
  • Chill your platter in the freezer for 10 minutes before arranging—cold surfaces keep fruit crisp longer and make handling easier.
  • Use a small, sharp knife and a gentle hand when slicing apples and kiwis; one second of care prevents bruises that dull the colors.
