Add small bowls or cups to the board to hold smaller items and create structure
Stand rolled wafer cookies upright and stack cookies to create height in the center
Place larger items like chocolate bars and donuts first to define the layout
Fill gaps with smaller items like chocolates and almonds
Arrange items in groups of three or five for visual balance
Create a border around the board before filling the center
Adjust placement for contrast in color, size, and texture before serving
