Instructions
- Place the wheel of cheese on a simple white plate or platter. ( see notes)
- If using a tall candle or sparkler, secure it in the center first.

Notes
Humboldt Fog ( by Cypress Grove) can be found locally at Costco…. or order on line.
If going with basic brie, stack two to three mini wheels to create a more dramatic effect. Use a little smear of honey to stick them together.
