A few enlightened individuals first enjoyed a cheese wedding cake way back in 2004 and the trend really started to take hold in 2006 &#8211; now there over two dozen British companies creating cheese wedding cakes for couples up and down the country all reporting either steady or increased sales.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">We can see why<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Different:<\/strong>\u00a0Cheese wedding cakes offer a delicious alternative to the traditional fruitcake and with over\u00a0700 different named cheeses produced in Britain there is bound to be something for\u00a0everyone. A lot of people don\u2019t necessarily like fruitcake and a cheese wedding cake is the perfect solution for those looking for something a little different.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Beautiful:<\/strong>\u00a0Often appearance is as important as taste with a traditional wedding cake but cheese wedding cakes can be just as pretty.\u00a0There are thousands of colour combinations you can create with a cheese wedding cake and with a wealth of decoration options like fruit, flowers, feathers and ribbons you can easily customise your cake to fit the theme of your wedding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Unique:\u00a0<\/strong>If you look around you will find most companies offer a bespoke service as well as ready chosen options so if the groom is Scottish and the bride is Welsh you can have a cheese to represent everyone \u2013 the only question is which will be more popular? If you are aiming for something a little bit different with your wedding, a cheese wedding cake is easy to customise. One couple even ordered a Halloween themed cake for an October wedding made from orange cheeses like Shropshire Blue and covered in spiders!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Cost effective:\u00a0<\/strong>The average cost of a cheese wedding cake is similar to that of a traditional wedding cake but if the cutting of the cake comes straight after the wedding breakfast it can then be the cheese course.\u00a0That\u2019s two items on your wedding planner ticked off for the price of one centrepiece.\u00a0Also, in the unlikely event that you have any cheese left it will keep for weeks in the fridge. Hard cheese like Cheddar can be grated and frozen for use in sauces, whilst 250 gram portions of Blue Stilton wrapped in foil can be frozen for up to 3 months. The trick then is to defrost the Stilton cheese slowly in the fridge over night, so the good news is that the cheese wedding cake then becomes a zero waste option.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46418\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46418\" style=\"width: 806px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ch.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-46418\" title=\"Cheese Wedding Cakes\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ch.jpg\" alt=\"Yorkshire Dales Cheese Co - Cheese Wedding Cakes\" width=\"806\" height=\"704\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46418\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-46418\" title=\"Cheese Wedding Cakes\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/ch.jpg\" alt=\"Yorkshire Dales Cheese Co - Cheese Wedding Cakes\" width=\"806\" height=\"704\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Yorkshire Dales Cheese Co<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Top 10 Tips<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are our top 10 tips to help you choose the perfect cheese wedding cake:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Allowing 100g of cheese per person will give you more than enough cheese for your guests and if you are incorporating your cheese wedding cake into a buffet or sit down meal you could half that quantity.<\/li>\n<li>Go on taste primarily, if a cake is to be a real stunner it will be the sensory experience of taste that will wow guests and using British cheeses is the best way to get all the flavours you need.<\/li>\n<li>A cheese wedding cake should provide a balanced cheese board,\u00a0put it\u00a0together with your guests in mind not just your personal favorites.<\/li>\n<li>Be adventurous and order a British cheese you have never tried before, often you will find it has a rich heritage behind it which makes a great talking point at the wedding, but always keep\u00a0the &#8216;good cheese board&#8217; theme in mind.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid particularly strong smelling cheeses, especially in summer. If a strong cheese is a must check your venue is sufficiently air conditioned.<\/li>\n<li>Look at all your options &#8211; you could have a traditional cake in the daytime and a cheese cake in the evening or you could put a mini cheese wedding cake on each table saving the costs of floral centerpieces on top of everything else.<\/li>\n<li>Stick to decorating the cake with fruit or edible flowers, ivy is not a good idea and bulbs such as tulips should have the stems wrapped before use.<\/li>\n<li>A good supplier should make choosing a cake an enjoyable experience, be able to offer lots of reliable advice and give you the opportunity to sample the cheeses you will have on the day.<\/li>\n<li>Always try to look at the sizes of the cheese you want to use and make sure that the cheese is evenly graduated. It simply doesn\u2019t look as good if the cheese sizes are too similar or too far apart.<\/li>\n<li>Think about the colour combinations of the cheese you use, and you can easily make your cheese wedding cake fit with theme of the rest of your day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Where to buy your cheese wedding cake<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here is a selection of the cheese wedding cake providers you could try:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Big Cheese Cake Company\u00a0www.hrhbigcheesecakecompany.co.uk<\/li>\n<li>The Wedding Cheese Cake Co\u00a0www.cheesecakes4weddings.co.uk<\/li>\n<li>The Liverpool Cheese Company\u00a0<a title=\"This external link will open in a new window\" href=\"http:\/\/www.liverpoolcheesecompany.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/www.liverpoolcheesecompany.co.uk\/\" data-cke-saved->www.liverpoolcheesecompany.co.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The House of Cheese\u00a0<a title=\"This external link will open in a new window\" href=\"http:\/\/www.houseofcheese.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/www.houseofcheese.co.uk\/\" data-cke-saved->www.houseofcheese.co.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The Cheese Factor\u00a0<a title=\"This external link will open in a new window\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cheese-factor.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/www.cheese-factor.co.uk\/\" data-cke-saved->www.cheese-factor.co.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The Cheese Shed\u00a0<a title=\"This external link will open in a new window\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thecheeseshed.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/www.thecheeseshed.com\/\" data-cke-saved->www.thecheeseshed.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Wensleydale Dairy products Stockist no: 01969 667664<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheese wedding cakes are the latest trend for weddings and are getting more popular by the day with cheese manufacturers across the country experiencing increased demand for these savoury delights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":126434,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-luxury-wedding-cakes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
