Gold Dust: Edible gold flakes or gold-dusted cherries for a lavish touch.
Herbal Highlights: Rosemary or thyme sprigs can elevate the aroma and taste of your beverages.

Gourmet Snacks:
Bruschetta with a Twist: Toasted baguette slices topped with roasted beet and goat cheese.
Truffle Macarons: A delightful combination of savoury and sweet, perfect for a refined palate.
Prosciutto-Wrapped Figs: Drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar, they’re a taste of autumn on a plate.
