Notes

Make ahead and storage instructions

Can I make a charcuterie board ahead of time? Yes, you can make this birthday dessert board a few hours in advance. However it can be hard to transport the board so if you're making it ahead of time, make it at the birthday party.

How to store leftovers: It depends on what birthday treats you choose to put on the candy board. Candies, gum balls, bubble yum tape, popcorn, suckers, etc. are fine to throw in a plastic baggie and store in the pantry. Place small cakes in an airtight container and consume within 3-4 days.
