Celebration Cheese Cakes

This “Celebration Cheese Cake” is the perfect alternative to the iced, multi-tiered, fruit cake or Wedding Cake. It can also be used at Birthdays and Anniversary parties or at an evening reception to compliment the Wedding Cake.

Your “Celebration Cheese Cake” can have as many tiers as you want, but will usually be made up of three or four layers.All of the cheeses are hand made at our dairy in Draycott Village, near Cheddar in Somerset, from local milk supplied from the Cheddar Valley.

Your bottom layer will almost always be cut from a traditional Cheddar Cheese, which will give a ring of about 7.5kgs. Cheddar is usually the most popular cheese and will give a good sound base for the whole cake.Your second layer can be from a choice of Cheddar with Cider, Garlic, Horseradish, Marmite, Mexican, Onion and Chives, Peppers and Garlic, Sweet Pickle, Sage and Onion, Smoked Cheddar or Cheddar with Whiskey.

If you are choosing a four tier “Celebration Cheese Cake”, then your third layer will be a ring of Draycott Blue, named after the village it is made in.

Finally, in the case of a three or four tiered “Celebration Cheese Cake”, your top layer will be a smaller ring of cheese selected from the cheese selection detailed above for the second layer. Each ring is progressively smaller towards the top to give the perfect balance.

The approximate cost of a three layer “Celebration Cheese Cake” will between £120 and £140 depending on the type and weights of the cheeses you select. Only two weeks notice is required to prepare your “Celebration Cheese Cake” and the finished article can be picked-up from our shop in Cheddar Gorge or delivered to you (delivery will charged as an extra cost).

This is a unique Cake and your guests are sure to remember the occasion for years to come.

You will find details of all of the cheeses mentioned above on the Cheese Selection pages on other parts of our website. Please telephone us to discuss this further on (01934) 814204.
