# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's a conversation starter that looks far more impressive than the twenty minutes it takes to make
  • Your guests will take a thousand photos before diving in, and honestly, that's part of the fun
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble right before the party, so you're actually relaxed when people arrive
  • It's naturally vegetarian and gluten-free, which means you're already covering half your guests' dietary needs
02 -
  • Drain your cottage cheese thoroughly, or it will seep moisture and make everything soggy. I learned this the hard way when my first bunny looked droopy by the time dessert came around
  • Cut all your pieces to roughly similar sizes so the platter feels intentional rather than haphazard. Uniform pieces make the design read clearly from across the room
  • Arrange pink and white ingredients separately—don't let them bleed together. The contrast is what makes the bunny actually look like a bunny and not just a colorful mess
03 -
  • Use a very large platter or board so you have room to spread out and create real visual impact. The bigger the canvas, the more impressive it becomes
  • Create your olive outline first with plenty of space between pieces, then fill the sections generously. Skimping on filling makes it look thin and less special
