Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 0.5 cm thickness. Use flower-shaped cookie cutters to cut out 20 flowers.

Place the pastry flowers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with beaten egg.

Step 4:

Bake for 10 minutes or until golden and puffed. Remove and let cool completely.

Step 5:

Step 6:

Slice the carrot, cucumber, and bell pepper into thin rounds and small decorative shapes (e.g. circles or petals) using a small knife or mini cookie cutters. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 7:

Once the pastry flowers have cooled, pipe or spread a layer of cream cheese mixture onto each.

Step 8:

Decorate each flower with the sliced vegetables and edible flowers, arranging them to mimic petals and centers.
