Bruschetta served with avocado makes for a colourful afternoon treat or entree. I used a shaped plate such as a square to give it that wow factor and ensured it was clean and without any chips. The colours in this dish will garnish themselves but I decided to finished off with a garnish of two basil leaves.

Styling I 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.
