When it comes to weddings, some traditions are timeless, and the wedding cake is certainly one of them. But in recent years, we’ve seen an exciting new contender rise in popularity: the wedding cheese cake, also known as the cheese tower.
Here at The Great Barn Devon, we’ve had the joy of seeing both grace our couples’ celebrations; from towering, multi-tiered sweet creations adorned with carefully crafted sugar flowers, or swept with gold leaf and adorned with fresh flowers, to rustic stacks of artisan cheeses decorated with figs, grapes and seasonal blooms. Both make exquisite centrepieces, and both bring so much personality to your wedding day.
The Classic Sweet Treat
The traditional wedding cake remains the choice for most couples. Elegant, creative, and utterly delicious, it’s the perfect way to add a personal touch to your big day. Some couples even choose to serve their wedding cake instead of pudding – and for a small fee per head, our team can cut and serve your cake alongside fresh berries and Chantilly cream. It’s a wonderful way to make your cake part of the wedding feast itself, and to ensure it’s all enjoyed and eaten up.
The Savoury Alternative
For those who love a cheese board more than a sweet dessert, a wedding cheese cake offers something truly unique. Layer upon layer of artisan cheeses create a dramatic display. For a small fee per head, we can cut and serve your cheese cake with a tempting array of accompaniments, including chutneys, grapes, celery and crackers. It makes for an indulgent, savoury end to your meal, or a wonderful evening food option. Find out more here.
Whether you go for sweet or savoury, we find such joy in seeing how much character and creativity each couple brings to their choice. We’ve seen everything from elegant floral cascades to rustic, seasonal designs. And the best part? Watching your guests enjoy every bite!
