How to Make a Cheese Wedding Cake

Having a sweet wedding cake is not always necessary. If your wedding meal includes a dessert, consider offering your guests something more savory later in the celebration. Making a wedding cake out of cheese can save money at receptions by replacing the typical cheese board. If you’d like to opt for the less conventional, add this to your menu. You don't even have to bake.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cheeses
• Cake stand
• Fruits and flowers (fresh or dried)

1. Decide on the amount of guests you’ll need to serve. This will determine the size of the eventual cake. Find out what cheeses your local vendor carries in large wheels or blocks. Choose cheeses with different strengths and colors that come in similar shapes.

2. Stack the cheeses from largest to smallest on a wedding cake server. Decorate the "cake" with fruits that are in-season, or opt for dried ones. Use apricots, grapes, apple slices, and edible flowers to add color and texture

3. Use your creativity to make your presentation distinctive. Wedding cakes do not have to look traditional, mix things up with different tiers and organizations. Ask someone to carve interesting designs into the cheese, or create objects out of it.
