CHEESE WEDDING CAKES
& OTHER CELEBRATION CAKES.
We are at Country Cheeses so familiar with Wedding Cheese Cakes now but 6 years ago, when I was first approached and asked to create a cheese cake, it was new territory. Once the idea was planted though, it was like a 100watt light bulb going on in a very dark room! The stunning creations that you can make so easily with cheese leads one to think why weren't they thought of before, I suspect it's the same with all excellent ideas. The thing is they look terrific and if you love cheese what a dream!
I deal with most of the wedding and celebrations cake enquiries myself by email or phone and create cakes to suit individual requirements. If you are able to visit one of our shops the girls there will be able to help you.
We give estimates on cost which we never exceed and also give an estimate of the complete weight of cheese. The weight of cheese is significant when comparing estimates.
Now to the practicalities.
1. You should allow approx. 100g per person. This can be reduced for larger numbers and increased for smaller gatherings.
2.The cost is approx. £1.50/£2.00 per person.
3. Cheese can be collected from one of our shops in Devon but if you are outside the area we send by overnight carrier. If it is a Saturday wedding we do like to send the cheeses out on the Tuesday before to arrive on the Wednesday.
4. If the cheeses are being collected payment can be made on collection. If the cheeses are being sent we call you a few days before to get credit card details. We don't require deposits.
Cheeses come in all shapes and sizes and look so magnificent when dressed with fruit or flowers.
Just email me with any requirements and we will do our very best to help.
