More information about the cheeses that make up each tier:
Top Tier: EVE Handmade in Somerset by White Lake who makes the most incredible soft cheeses. Eve is a unique soft Goat's Cheese, washed in Somerset cider brandy, adding a wonderful depth of flavour. The cheese is then wrapped in a vine leaf and matured. The perfect tier to a wedding cake, adding a bit of colour from the leaves and creating a wonderful nutty finish.
Second Tier: BARON BIGOD Handmade in Suffolk. Made by Fen Farm Dairy in small batches to a Brie de Meaux recipe, it’s silky at its rind but crumbly at its core. The Suffolk-born, traditional Brie-style cheese balances a clean lactic brightness with mushroomy, vegetal notes.
First Tier: RICH FRUIT CAKE Handmade just 16 miles away from our farm by Mrs Gill's Country Cakes. Following a 200-year-old recipe, Lisa uses local eggs and butter along with handfuls of plump vine fruits to create a wonderfully rich and moist fruit cake.
Base Tier: QUICKE'S MATURE CHEDDAR Handmade by Quicke's Cheese in Devon using the milk from their own herd of cows. This outstanding clothbound cheddar has been naturally matured for at least 6 months to create a creamy and buttery cheese with hints of caramel.
Cake measurements:
Diameter of base: 17cm
Total height of the cheeses: 19cm
