Cheese instead of Cake - opinions please

Heres one for you from a wedding I shot last year--- tiz a biggie and you dont have to go this big but it depends on how many people its for and how much of it you want to take on honeymoon with you 😃

Thank you

I think it's a fab idea. If you're both cheese fans, why not?! Serve it up with some crackers. I defo wouldn't be disappointed

We are being greedy and having both!! As we both love cheese and cake, the cheese will be served after the wedding breakfast and cake cut in the evening in the traditional way...

Welcome to hitched! I personally am not too fussed by cakes at weddings. Usually after 2 courses I'm stuffed, so often don't finish dessert/cake anyway.

My SIL had both also and the cheese/crackers in the evening was nice. You certainly don't need a cake.

I think this is a fab idea. I'd have a cupcake stand or something like that as well though for the non-cheese/sugar lovers!

I think it's a great idea. I went to a friends wedding last year and they had one. They cut one of the cheese wheels instead of the "cutting the cake" moment. The only think I would say, is once it's all cut up for people to eat - it really smells! So if can serve it somewhere a bit out of the way it might be wise. Some guests who don't like cheese were holding their noses!

I've photographed a lot of weddings where the cake was cheese - no real concerns apart from the fact that if it's very hot the cheese doesn't hold it's shape too well and does start to smell - lovely if you like it but not if you don't! I remember one cheese tower that did start to sag a bit in the heat. However the guests always seem to love it and it does have a bit of novelty factor!

Thank you everyone, the heat shouldn't be a problem as its a March wedding! Think we're gunna go for it and also do cupcakes

I love it! We're having cupcakes after pudding and then cheese and port at 11pm - February wedding!

Yup, this for us too. I'm not really a cake person but OH really wanted the traditional cake, so we get both!

We are also being greedy and having both ? Cheese tower, crackers, breads, sandwich meats etc hopefully! And then cake after - we're doing cake bars (my mum wants fruit cake, my OH wants lemon sponge, my aunt wants chocolate...) as well as a normal 2 tiered sponge for show so there should be plenty of choice. All from M&S to be a bit easier! x

We are having both - the cake is the desert and the cheese tower is the evening food along with nibbles, crackers and homemade rhubarb chutney and salads :-)

For evening food it actually works out very reasonable - approx £3 per head!

We had both. The evening food was a ploughmans buffet of the cheeses served with crusty bread, ham, salads and pickles. 'Twas very well enjoyed by our guests.

I would LOVE one, but my fiancé doesn't like cheese! He occasionally eats a small amount of mild mozzarella on a pizza, but complains if I have anything strong-smelling like parmesan, so it will be a traditional cake for us.
