StylingI used a square plate to present my desert. I ensured the plate was clean and without any
chips. I placed the plate on a brown place mat because it reflects the modern Australian theme and to contrast the colours with the chocolate.
The chocolate is used as a design to decorate the desert. I presented the desert with a glass of
milk faded in the background as a prop.
