Notes:
For the best results, remove the petals from the buds so they lay flat on the outside of the goat cheese ball.
Need another fun idea? Create small balls (about 3 to 4) out of the goat cheese mixture and cover with different flowers of the same color. This is a gorgeous addition to a charcuterie board.
The goat cheese ball can be chilled for up to 2 days before covering with edible flowers and serving.
