My mother in law asked me to bring a charcuterie for Christmas Eve this year (12 people attending) and these videos are so helpful! I make a decent board, but I was just slicing meat and cheese and placing it on there. Now I feel like I can level up with salami roses and pretty cheese arrangements. 🙂

How would you suggest displaying a blue cheese as my husband loves any blue cheese and I prepare a charcuterie every year for his birthday along with a 5 course dinner and wine pairing. I assume the blue will crumble. This year, I'm using a paper mache 60 as my board. I also bought a small brie, manchego and some other cheddars, colby jack. I only have about 2.5 inches across in the 60. Thanks!

Hi Stacy! how fun! I have only done a set of numbers one time, but I would suggest crumbling it up in larger chunks if possible.
