The second time I made this, I softened the cheese w/a little milk, put it in a small square server with sides, then sprinkled it with the sunflower seeds, drizzled the honey over and topped with the raspberries. Easier to eat. Next time I am going to melt a little raspberry preserves into the honey and see how that goes. Or maybe a little berry liqueur into the honey? oooooooh!11/26/09

I put it together two minutes before company arrived using blackberries. Everyone loved it. I added the goat cheese and blackberries to an arugula salad the next day. Delicious!!09/01/09
