Step 1

While still cold, unwrap the Brie and, using a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter, cut out a pumpkin shape from the center of the Brie wheel. Place both pieces of Brie on the board, and fill the empty pumpkin-shaped space with orange marmalade.

Step 2

Place each of the baked sweets on the board. Overlap any stackable cookies or brownies, developing a slight circular or zigzag shape as you place them.

Step 3

Set two small ramekins on the board. Fill one with cornichons and the other with mustard.

Step 4

Arrange the sliced cheeses around the board, with the slices overlapping, in a semi-circle or slightly rounded pattern, working your way around the larger items already on the board. Next, place any diced cheeses in small mounds.

Step 5

Place the meats on the board (preferably avoiding touching the sweet items). Overlap any folded or sliced meats, and stack the rolled meat into a small pyramid.

Step 6

Arrange the crackers on the board, overlapping, around the other larger items.

Step 7

Arrange the sliced fruit and any whole fruits, stacking or overlapping where necessary.

Step 8

Fill any remaining space with pistachios, popcorn, candy corn or other candies, so that the entirety of the board is covered, and the colors and textures are all balanced evenly across the board.

Step 9

Lastly, if using, place sprigs of rosemary in a few places on the board, and add any Halloween decor you like. These decorations can sit on top of any items already on the board.

Step 10

Serve immediately, or cover and place in the fridge for no more than a few hours before serving.
