CHEESE BIRTHDAY CAKES

What better way to celebrate your special day than with a birthday cake made from cheese? A great addition to any birthday party or celebration, this cake is sure to bring the ‘wow’ factor to any occasion.

Please note: Throughout the year it may be difficult to source particular cheeses that are being made by our small artisan cheesemaking friends as they are speciality products. We will try wherever possible to make sure that a suitable replacement is featured of similar weight and value. We apologise should this happen.

If your cheese cake is being displayed in a tent, marquee, conservatory or any other warm environment please ensure it is refrigerated as much as possible before displaying. We recommend using cake boards and cake dowels to keep your tower in good condition for longer periods of time.

How to build a celebration cheese cake

When building a celebration cheese cake, it’s important to have a secure structure to avoid any cheeses becoming damaged or falling. Here’s a few things to keep in mind:

• The largest cheese should be at the bottom of the cheese celebration cake and each cheese added should be smaller than the one beneath it. This helps with equally distributing the weight and will prevent it from leaning or collapsing. 
• Soft cheeses should be on the top unless there is a structure in place to prevent them from getting squashed. Consider cake boards and plastic dowels to keep these cheeses protected.
  
• A celebration cheese cake should be presented on a sturdy base such as a cake stand or a wooden or slate board.
