# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It requires zero cooking, just the joy of arranging beautiful things together—perfect when you want to impress without stress.
  • The lavender-infused flavors taste like you've transported guests somewhere dreamy and sophisticated, even though it comes together in twenty minutes.
  • Everyone finds something they love because the combination of creamy cheeses, delicate fruits, and playful candies speaks to every palate.
02 -
  • Remove your cheeses from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before serving—cold cheese tastes like nothing, but cheese at room temperature reveals all its subtle lavender whispers and creamy depth.
  • If your lavender goat cheese seems too intense, you can always balance it by placing it next to the sweeter elements like berries or Turkish delight, letting guests build flavors they love.
  • Edible flowers must be truly edible and unsprayed—this is non-negotiable for both safety and peace of mind when guests are eating them.
03 -
  • Assemble your board no more than one hour before serving—cheeses can weep and fruits can oxidize, so timing matters for both beauty and flavor.
  • If you're nervous about lavender intensity, start with less than you think you need; you can always add more to individual goat cheese mounds, but you can't take it back.
