# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's a showstopper that requires zero cooking skills, just a little patience and creativity with your hands
  • Every single ingredient is something you likely already have hiding in your fridge, making it perfect for last-minute celebrations
  • Kids genuinely want to help assemble it, turning dinner prep into a cherished memory instead of a chore
02 -
  • Drain your cottage cheese thoroughly, or moisture will seep across your platter and turn everything soggy by the time guests arrive. I learned this the hard way when my beautiful bunny started looking sad after 30 minutes.
  • Arrange everything no more than two hours before serving, as the fresher ingredients like strawberries and radishes will start releasing water. If you're preparing for a longer party, keep the platter covered in the fridge and only arrange it an hour before guests arrive.
03 -
  • Use a slightly larger carrot piece than you think you need for the nose—small noses tend to disappear into the white ingredients and lose their charm
  • The secret to making your bunny feel alive is positioning those blueberry eyes slightly asymmetrically, like the bunny is looking off in a thoughtful direction rather than straight ahead
