Now roll the salami up into a circle.
Place the salami circle in a small glass and set to the side.

Use toothpicks to adhere the ears to the Mickey Head.
Create a second Mickey head and set it to the side.

Choose a large, circle wood board or a Mickey Mouse Head Wood Board. (This is a really nice Mickey Board and it’s on sale right now too!!)
Start by putting the Brie, Mickey Mouse head cookie cutter, and Mickey Mouse hand cookie cutter on the board. Next place your Mickey Mouse salami heads on the board, placing them on separate ends.
Fill your small ramekin with your jam of choice and place it on the board.
Add your small chunked cheese to your Mickey hand cookie cutter, and spread evenly.
Place the remaining cheese on the board.
