WHAT IS A CHEESE TOWER WEDDING CAKE?
It’s not a cheesecake. It consists of several
cheese rounds arranged one above the other in the same way that the tiers of a
traditional wedding cake are arranged. To make it look like a traditional cake,
round cheeses of varying diameters are used.
WHY CHEESE?
First of all its delicious, and also brings something
different to your wedding. Some people simply do not like traditional fruit
cakes, marzipan, chocolate, icing, or any of the ingredients of a traditional
cake.
These cheese towers are suitable for anyone who
would prefer a savoury cake or who would like a cheese course at their wedding
in addition to the usual type of cake.
HOW MUCH CHEESE?
Normally 100g of cheese per person which means in
theory that if you have 100 guests you will need a 10kg cake and so on!
Some guests will not eat any cheese, but other guests
will eat much more than 100g. So it's best to add in crackers, fruit preserves
and fresh fruit, chutneys and pickles, or even cold meats for the mom cheese
eaters.
BUILDING THE CHEESE TOWER
Simply stack on each other although it may be an
idea to put a circle of greaseproof or cardboard between each. You can separate
the cheeses with stands, boards, pillars, etc
Three or more cheese rounds that different size
diameters work best and look better than several cheeses which have the same
ACCESSORIES
A base to put the cheese on, like a cake stand.
You will need at least one, perhaps two, very
sharp, strong knives to cut the cake;
Smaller knives are really useful to spread out
amongst the cheeseboard.
DECORATING THE CAKE THE CHEESE TOWER
Foliage, cherry tomatoes, grapes, Figs, flowers,
and even some figurines all seem to work well.
