Instructions
- Prepare your base by laying out your serving board or platter on a flat surface. Optionally place a decorative doily or parchment paper on top.
- Arrange the mini cupcakes evenly spaced around the board. Optionally cut a few in half to show colorful insides, keeping frosting intact.
- Wash and slice fresh fruit like strawberries and kiwi. Cluster them in small piles around the cupcakes.
- Fill small bowls or ramekins with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and gummy candies to keep the board tidy.
- Scatter chocolate covered pretzels and candy melts around the board, filling in gaps and adding texture.
- Generously sprinkle edible confetti sprinkles over cupcakes, fruit, and candies for a festive effect.
- Insert decorative picks or toothpicks into cupcakes and some candies for easy grabbing.
- If prepping ahead, store uncovered in the fridge and add confetti sprinkles last minute to keep them crisp.
Notes
Keep fruit dry to prevent sogginess. Use bowls for sticky candies to keep the board neat. Cut mini cupcakes into smaller pieces to reduce frosting mess. Store uncovered in fridge if prepping ahead and add sprinkles last minute.
