We gave you nine awesome wedding cake toppers and now we've found the perfect offbeat wedding cake: Cheese cake. Literally.
Cup of Jo posted these beauties yesterday, and though they may not please your vegan friends or Chelsea Clinton, they're fun alternatives to the old frosting-and-white-cake combo.
The Cheese Shed in southwest England uses cheese collected from local dairy farms to make its wedding cakes. There's the Eighty-Eight for a large black tie affair, the Gold Hill for a summer wedding, and even a cheesecake/fruitcake combo for those who want to go halfsies.
Unfortunately, they don't ship to the States (yet), but here's to inspiration--it would be easy enough to buy rounds of cheese and some art supplies to decorate one of your own!
See more photos after the jump.
For the adventurous: "The Gold Hill" has an emphases on washed rind cheeses.
Named after a red-and-white lighthouse in Plymouth Hoe, England, "Smeatons Tower" is a stack of brie, blue cheese, cheddar, and goat cheese. [#image: /photos/57e191e45a14a530086f014c]||||||
"A bit of an experiment" according to the folks at The Cheese Shed--this "Cheesecake/Fruitcake" is the result of customer requests.
