# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks absolutely stunning on the table without requiring any cooking skills whatsoever.
  • You can prep almost everything the night before and just do final touches in the morning.
  • Everyone gets to choose exactly what they want, so there's no pressure to please all tastes at once.
02 -
  • If you're making this ahead, keep the pastries and fruit separate until the last possible moment; pastries soften when they sit next to cut fruit for too long.
  • Pour the sparkling wine first and juice second for better blending, and never top with juice and then stir aggressively or you'll lose all the bubbles.
03 -
  • Shop your local bakery the morning of or the day before, and don't be shy about asking them what's fresh; bakers love talking about their work and often have suggestions.
  • If raspberries are expensive or hard to find, double down on whatever berries are at their peak that season instead of forcing berries that aren't quite right.
