On Design

The look is more relaxed, with an eclectic mix of flowers and fruit, including natives and soft green succulents. There’s a swing for a tall, narrow cheese tower to follow the trend of the straight-up-and-down naked cake.

On Flavours

The layers depend on individual tastes for different cheeses. Try incorporating hard with blues – and, of course, the soft, luscious triple creams. Everyone loves those! Blue-lovers will enjoy Shropshire Blue as a base or part of the tower.

On Serving

The essentials for any tower are quince paste, dried figs and fruit bread, as well as plain crackers or oatcakes. Cheese Towers are a great choice for those couples looking to forgo the traditional wedding cake dessert – or instead, use it as a savoury complement to their wedding cake.
