# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • You can customize every treat and garnish like a secret menu for your friends.
  • It transforms a simple dessert spread into an interactive centerpiece.
02 -
  • Trying to squeeze too many treats onto the board makes everything look cluttered—leave gaps for fruit clusters!
  • Using cold cake slices prevents crumbs and helps keep their shape when arranging.
03 -
  • Arrange cake slices first—this anchors the board and helps the rest fall into place.
  • Pairing fresh berries near rich treats like truffles creates just the right balance in every bite.
