- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions
- Cut mozzarella cheese sticks into 3/4-1 inch long pieces (36)

- Cut 18 cherry tomatoes in half from top to bottom

- Let the tomato halves dry, so the white icing spots stick

- Set cheese stick cuts on their ends to make mushroom stems

- Add a dab of basil paste to the top of each cheese stick stem

- Place tomato-half mushroom caps on top of the basil and cheese stems

- Skewer each tomato cap and cheese stem down the center with a toothpick
- Randomly, add white gel icing spots to the tomato cap
