# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours preparing when it honestly takes twenty-five minutes, maximum.
  • Everyone feels like a kid again, following a edible maze to find the treasure.
  • Naturally gluten-free and adaptable for any dietary restriction without sacrificing beauty or taste.
02 -
  • Arrange everything just before serving, otherwise the nuts begin to look slightly sad and the cheese can weep a little at room temperature.
  • If you're sketching with pencil, make sure it's a clean one, and press very lightly because the marks do show through if you're not careful.
03 -
  • Sort your nuts and seeds into small bowls before you start building, so you can work quickly and your hands stay clean as you arrange.
  • If the path feels too loose or wobbly as you build, use slightly larger pieces to anchor the smaller ones and create visual stability.
