Waffles

Preheat your heart-shaped waffle maker.

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, whisking until well blended.

Scoop the batter into the preheated waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

Serve the heart-shaped waffles warm, topped with your favorite toppings.

Assemble the Board

Surround the waffles with croissants, then arrange the Swiss roll slices and heart-shaped cookies around them.

Add small bowls of cream cheese, Nutella, and red jam to the board.

Place the berries around the croissants and waffles.

Dust the waffles and croissants with powdered sugar. Drizzle honey over the berries and cream cheese.

Serve immediately.

Note

Use a mix of vibrant fruits, varied textures (crunchy, creamy, soft), and contrasting shades for a visually appealing and delicious board.
