Ingredients

Instructions
- First, display and position the largest item on the dessert board. For this platter, I cut a large wedge of watermelon and scooped out the flesh.
- Next, fill in the cut watermelon with a variety of fresh fruit. Alternatively, pile up heaps of grapes and berries in one corner.
- Place on small bowls of sauces, candies, chocolates, trail mix, marshmallows or nuts around the dessert board.
- Arrange the baked goods, candies, cookies, cupcakes, or chocolates in the empty spaces. Group them together in piles or fan them out in curved lines.
