# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It uses what you already have and turns it into something people think you planned for weeks.
  • The swirling is weirdly relaxing, like finger painting but with food.
  • Everyone gets to pick their own color combination, so picky eaters don't complain.
02 -
  • If you swirl too much, it all turns into one brownish tone and loses the effect, so stop earlier than you think.
  • Cold dips swirl better than room temperature ones, they hold their shape and don't bleed into each other as fast.
03 -
  • Use a white or light colored platter so the colors really stand out against the background.
  • Keep your swirling tool clean between strokes or you'll muddy the colors faster than you think.
