# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • It's a showstopper that requires zero cooking skills, just good taste and a steady hand
  • Everyone finds something they love across the spectrum, making it genuinely inclusive
  • The whole thing comes together in thirty minutes, leaving you stress-free and ready to celebrate
02 -
  • Prep your produce as close to serving time as possible—this prevents browning and keeps everything looking vibrant
  • The secret to perfect color separation is using a large enough board; cramping will make colors bleed together and lose impact
03 -
  • A slightly damp towel under your board keeps it from sliding around while you're arranging—stability matters when you're creating art
  • If a fruit is starting to oxidize or brown, keep that piece for the back of the board or use it as the filling rather than the face of each color section
