Preheat your heart-shaped waffle maker.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla. Slowly add it to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Stir in the melted butter and give it a final mix.

Pour the batter into your waffle maker and cook according to the instructions. (They cook fast usually 2–3 minutes per waffle!)

When done, let them cool just slightly so they hold their shape on the board.

Start with your base. Grab a large wooden board, a cutting board, or even a big serving tray. Whatever you have will work!

Place your waffles first. These are your “anchors,” so spread them out evenly across the board.

Add the croissants, Swiss roll slices, and cookies. Nestle them in between the waffles no need for perfection, just balance it out.

Add small bowls for spreads. Fill them with softened cream cheese, Nutella, and your favorite red jam. Place them around the board for easy scooping.

Scatter your fruit. Strawberries and blueberries fill in the gaps, add a pop of color, and make everything feel extra fresh.

Finish with toppings. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle a little honey over the berries, and if you’ve got edible flowers or jellies, tuck them in like little surprises.
