# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's a showstopper that takes just 20 minutes to create, making you look like a culinary artist without the stress
  • Every single ingredient is fresh and colorful, so you're serving something that's as nutritious as it is beautiful
  • Kids and adults alike get genuinely excited seeing their food shaped like a cheerful bunny—it transforms a simple platter into an experience
02 -
  • Pat your cottage cheese completely dry before using it, or it will slowly seep moisture onto your beautiful white ingredients and ruin the visual impact
  • Prep everything ahead except the chives and berries—these need to stay fresh and bright until the moment of serving, so add them last
  • Don't slice your hard-boiled eggs too thin, or they'll break apart when you're trying to position them; thick slices hold together and look more intentional

  • Chill all your ingredients before assembling, especially the white fillings—they'll hold their shape better and stay fresh longer, making your platter look polished for hours
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to position delicate ingredients like radish slices and hard-boiled egg—it gives you precision without your fingers smudging everything
