PRO TIP:

Pay attention to the layering of your parfait. It is the top of the Parfait that grabs the most attention, and if people cannot decipher what ingredients were used by just looking at the top, then they may not see it as delicious. Don’t put too many ingredients at the top but still, put the most important ones or the ones that you feel would be needed.
