# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • No cooking required—perfect when you want to impress without stress.
  • The waterfall effect gets everyone talking before they even taste anything.
  • It's endlessly customizable based on what's in season or what your guests actually enjoy eating.
02 -
  • Prep everything except the apple and pear slices well in advance; only slice those fruits in the last 10 minutes or they'll brown and look sad.
  • Use a board that's actually large—cramping everything onto something small defeats the visual impact that makes this special.
  • The glass doesn't have to be perfect crystal; a regular champagne coupe works just as well and you won't panic if someone bumps it.
03 -
  • If you're building this ahead of time, cover it loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate—it'll hold for up to 4 hours before the fruit starts looking tired.
  • Use a board with a lip or slight edge so nothing rolls onto the table when people inevitably nudge things while reaching for cheese.
