# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks like edible art, but takes only 20 minutes and zero cooking skills.
  • Everyone gets to pick their own colors and flavors, making it feel personal and interactive.
  • It's naturally vegan and gluten-free without feeling like a restriction.
02 -
  • Pat your fruit completely dry or everything will slip around like you're playing a game you didn't ask for.
  • Arrange on a dark board; bright platters wash out the colors and kill the whole aurora effect.
  • Don't prep more than an hour ahead unless you want sad, oxidized apple slices.
03 -
  • Buy blackberries last and handle them like they're made of gossip—one squeeze and everything falls apart.
  • If a fruit starts to brown, tuck it under a mint leaf or move it to a less visible spot instead of tossing it.
