For extra flair, use strips of red bell pepper to fashion scarves or hats for your penguins. Frilly toothpicks add a touch of whimsy to the presentation. Ensure the cream cheese is sufficiently softened for easy filling. If you have trouble inserting the carrot beaks, try using a paring knife to create a small starter hole in the small olives.
