                        2. Cut half of your choice of herbed cheese into 1/2-inch thick slices. Cut slices with a star-shaped cookie cutter, using the handle of a small spoon to press and release cheese from cutter at star points..

                        4. Thread cheese, tomatoes and olives on toothpicks to create an assortment, adding 2 to 3 of each per toothpick. Rotate cheese, tomatoes and olives near the frill top of each toothpick for variety.  
                        5. Place toothpicks into cone, ensuring the entire base is covered. Tuck remaining bay leaves in cone. (Save any remaining herbs for a different recipe.)

                        Cheesemonger Tip

                        The more colorful the cheese, the prettier the tree will be. Choose flavored cheeses or ones with herb rinds for even more color.
