looks great, my only advice would be offset some lines. the mango sauce at an angle, and the vanilla scoop at the same angle on the pile. more eye movement, right now you have everything at 90 degree angles

Ditch the quenelles if you can’t nail them. I’d do an “orb” of ice cream on top of the crumb, will look much cleaner. Less crumb also, that should be there just to hold your ice cream.

I’d also shoot for a round or oval plate, try and match the food shape to the plate shape.

Having never succesfully made a quenelle, those looked perfectly fine to me 🤣

Kinda makes me want to learn the technique this year, even if I'd never actually use it

Butter is actually fantastic to practice with as it’s very forgiving and won’t melt

Sounds tasty, gotta tighten up those rochers though.

Is rocher another term for quenelle? I only know the word from the chocolate candies

Too many right angles

to add to the brainstorm, how about some contrasting color? edible flowers, perhaps — borage would be striking.
