# Steps:
01 - Toss lamb cubes with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice in a bowl. Marinate at least 20 minutes.

03 - Beat whipped cream cheese, ricotta, crème fraîche, and salt in a bowl until light and fluffy. Pipe or spoon cloud shapes onto parchment or serving board. Garnish with sprinkles if desired.
04 - Place bowls of hummus and tzatziki on the board. Arrange cheese clouds, lamb bites on skewers, crackers, vegetables, grapes, blueberries, mini meringues, and white chocolate truffles artistically.
05 - Decorate with fresh mint leaves and edible flowers if using. Serve immediately, inviting guests to build their own bites.
