# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen, but it's genuinely just fruit and five minutes of intentional arrangement.
  • The color gradient creates an almost hypnotic effect that makes people lean in closer, and the flavors shift subtly with each bite.
02 -
  • Brush apple and pear slices with lemon juice the moment you cut them—oxidation happens faster than you think, and nobody wants gray fruit at the center of their beautiful platter.
  • Prep everything into bowls before you start arranging; the actual composition takes minutes once you're ready to build.
03 -
  • Serve this alongside sparkling rosé or champagne; the bubbles cut through fruit sweetness and create a celebration feeling that matches the visual impact.
  • If you're making this more than an hour ahead, keep the apple and pear separate until the last moment, then arrange them just before guests arrive.
