Serve a Cheese Cake - While we love the sweet, decadent bliss of true cake or even the cream cheesiness of cheesecake, we tend to prefer actual cheese built into the shape and style of a three-tiered cake. They are beautiful, stylish and most of all, delicious. If you have a special event or party coming up (wedding, birthday, shower, brunch, etc.) let us make you a cake out of cheese. Serves 50-100 people. (We will consult with you on your cheese tastes, as well as flowers, herbs and foliage for beauty.)
