This is such a cute & super easy idea! My kids remember going to Vegas & riding on a Gondola so they'll LOVE this. Since Brie cheese goes so well with pears that's what I'll use & I'll have to think about another vegetable to put on top since my son doesn't like "raw" tomatoes as he calls them. I'll still present it to him but will have to come up with another vegetable he likes. Love this site & will be sharing it with everyone!
