2. Add complementary textures
- Nuts: almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, pistachios

- Fresh fruit: strawberries, raspberries, banana slices
- Cookies/biscuits: shortbread, wafer, or biscotti
3. Add some indulgent extras

- Mini marshmallows or pretzels for crunch
- Shaved chocolate or cocoa powder for garnish
4. Assembly tips

- Leave space: Donât overcrowdâplenty of breathing room makes it look fancy
