Celebration cakes made from cheese are becoming increasingly popular both here and in the UK. As we are receiving an increasing number of requests for information on these 'wedding cheese cakes' we thought we would provide a few pointers.

The Idea!

The basic idea is that, either as an alternative or in addition to the traditional cake, the host or hosts, present their guests with various cheeses which have been stacked and decorated to resemble a classic wedding cake. This 'cheesecake' is later disassembled and used as the cheeseboard, an after dinner option which many people prefer to traditional wedding cakes.

Choosing the Right Cheese Cake

Your selection should make a balanced cheeseboard once disassembled. A good cheeseboard generally includes a number of different types of cheese, classically a hard, a soft and a blue.

"3 Tiers of Delight"

You really need at least three tiers to make the 'cake' appear sufficiently layered.

We have put together thousands of Wedding & occasion Cheese Cakes! We know what works and what doesn't and how best to suit your special day - budget, guests, venue, season & tastes.

Once you have your cheeses selected you can assemble and decorate them anyway you like. Seasonal fruits are a great way to add the finishing touches to your cake. The pastry chef in the reception venue  will usually be only too delighted to decorate the cake for you ( though always check that your venue will accept outside food suppliers).

We can advise on decorating your cake yourself to match your particular day and desires.
