Position the stalks so that you have six of different lengths. Carve thin leaves out of green peppers to decorate the flower stalks.<\/p>\n<p>Cut even, pointed triangles out of Emmentaler AOP; these will form the yellow petals. Red pepper pieces in the same shape add a colour contrast. Arrange them in a star shape to form a big flower made of cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Place a thin slice of cucumber, a radish or a halved cherry tomato in the centre, depending on what you have to hand.<\/p>\n<p>Now cut more flowers from the piece of Emmentaler AOP. Taking nature as your guide, create as many different flower shapes as possible: round, jagged like a daffodil or tulip-shaped. Here, too, place an edible centre in the middle of each flower.<\/p>\n<p>Place a few crackers next to each other at the bottom of your bouquet \u2013 they look like fresh soil and encourage people to snack on your cheese bouquet.<\/p>\n<p>A few pea sprouts, cress or edible flowers give your floral cheeseboard a final spring touch.
