# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It requires zero cooking and comes together in twenty minutes, making it perfect for last-minute entertaining when you want to look effortless.
  • The visual impact is genuinely stunning—people will reach for their phones to photograph it before they taste it.
  • It's naturally vegan and gluten-free, so you're never worried about accommodating different diets.
02 -
  • Arrange everything on a dark platter or board—the contrast is what makes the colors sing and actually creates the aurora effect; on white or light surfaces, everything gets washed out.
  • Prep your fruits no more than an hour before serving, because once kiwi and apple hit air, they start to brown and look tired, which breaks the magic of the whole moment.
03 -
  • Halving your grapes instead of leaving them whole makes a massive difference in how they sit together and how easily you can create smooth lines.
  • The real secret is using a dark platter and adding just enough edible glitter to catch light without overdoing it—restraint is what makes it feel like actual aurora, not craft supplies.
