# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get to play with food like you're an artist, arranging colors instead of stressing over precise measurements.
  • Nobody expects you to cook anything, yet somehow it feels more impressive than a hot dish.
  • It's naturally flexible, so you can swap in whatever blue treats you find and make it completely your own.
02 -
  • Wash your fruits right before serving or they'll weep and create puddles that make everything look tired and sad.
  • Invest in actual blue treats from specialty stores if you can, because regular candy painted blue never looks quite right and guests can tell the difference.
03 -
  • Prep your small bowls and ramekins with a tiny dab of cream cheese on the bottom so they don't slide around on the smooth board.
  • Buy your blue treats from specialty candy stores or online a few days ahead so you're not scrambling and stuck with sad grocery store versions.
