Say ‘CHEESE’ (Cake)
It might sound cheesy, but a cheese cake can make the perfect wedding dessert. Let’s face it, everybody loves cheesecake! And in case you need to be convinced that a wedding cheesecake is right for you, consider this: Because of the richness of a cheesecake, you only have to make slices about half the size of the typical wedding-cake slice. This means a smaller cake can go a lot further. But if you’re still skeptical, and still have questions, here’s a Question & Answer guide for those considering the cheese cake option.
What cheeses are generally used?
- This depends on the baker, but usually it’s up to you. Most cheeses can be made into a tasty cheesecake (although most bakers would discourage swiss). Talk to your baker about the color, texture, and sharpness you want in the cake, and he will help you plan it.
How big should I make it?
- As always, this depends a lot on how many people you expect to attend the reception. But if cost is a factor, remember what we already mentioned: Any size cheesecake will typically serve twice as many people as the same size in another cake.
But won’t a cheesecake look unattractive?
- On the contrary! A wedding cake can be made to look attractive – and mouth-watering-ly delicious! Think about it: What other cake can you top with a traditional frosting, and yet adorn on the outside with fruit such as strawberries or cherries? Your baker can help you by recommending cheeses with color and cutting them to the right shape to get the typical pyramid shape.
