# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get that showstopping presentation without actually cooking—just thoughtful arranging and the satisfaction of making something look like it belongs in a magazine
  • Every element is chosen to pair naturally with champagne, so your guests feel the whole experience was designed just for them
  • It comes together in 30 minutes, which means you can actually enjoy the party instead of being stuck in the kitchen
  • The creamy, sweet, and crisp flavors create this beautiful dance on your palate that keeps you reaching for just one more bite
02 -
  • Symmetry and repetition are what make this board feel expensive. Don't scatter randomly; create intentional clusters. Your eye craves order, and when you give it that, the board feels curated instead of chaotic.
  • Temperature matters more than you'd think. Everything should be cold when served, which means prepping ahead and keeping your board in the coolest part of your kitchen until the last moment. A chilled board tastes better and looks fresher.
  • Slice your pears and stone fruits as close to serving time as possible. Even 30 minutes of sitting time can lead to browning. Have them ready to go, but arrange them last.
03 -
  • Prep your ingredients in advance, but assemble the board as close to serving time as possible. This is what keeps everything looking fresh and tasting its absolute best.
  • Keep a damp paper towel nearby while you're arranging. You can polish any smudges or fingerprints on the board right before you bring it out, and those little touches are what make it feel magazine-worthy.
  • Chill your champagne flutes in the freezer for 15 minutes before serving. That frost on the glass is the final touch that makes everything feel luxurious.
