01 - Position the lavender goat cheese, brie, and feta in soft, irregular clusters on a large serving board.

05 - Top with edible flowers and drizzle honey over the cheeses lightly if desired.
06 - Present immediately, encouraging guests to combine flavors according to preference.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It requires zero cooking, just thoughtful arranging—perfect when you want to feel creative without stress.
  • The lavender-infused goat cheese creates this subtle floral note that tastes sophisticated but feels like a secret between you and your guests.
  • It's naturally vegetarian and absolutely stunning for intimate gatherings, baby showers, or any moment that calls for something ethereal.
02 -
  • Temperature matters more than you'd think—let your cheeses sit out for 15 minutes before arranging so they're soft and inviting. Cold, firm cheese on a platter feels less generous than cheese that's ready to be enjoyed.
  • The order of arrangement changes everything. If you scatter fruits first and add cheese last, the cheese can look like an afterthought. Start with cheese as your anchor, then add color around it, and the visual hierarchy will feel intentional.
03 -
  • Pat your blueberries completely dry before placing them on white cheese—moisture causes discoloration that reads as careless rather than charming.
  • Arrange your board on a board you actually like. The surface matters. A marble board, wooden platter, or even a dark plate changes how the colors read and affects the entire mood.
