Cheesecakes

At Procter’s Cheeses Ltd, we specialise in providing bespoke cheese celebration cakes . With each one we take into consideration the number of guests and your personal taste in cheese.

The starting point is the number of guests your wish to cater for – this will determine whether a 2,3 or 4 tier cake is required and if any additional cheeses on the side may be needed.

We can then discuss what type of cheeses you like or if there is a theme to the wedding i.e. a Scottish, Welsh or Southern cheese to be included. We can also incorporate colour schemes into the cake design.

When we have some ideas on which cheeses to include we then look at where they can be incorporated into your cake. Each dairy which produces the different cheeses have varying mould sizes so we need to look at where each layer can go in the cake to get the ‘right’ look. We also have to consider the different flavour levels in each cheese so that we have something for everyone i.e. a mild cheese, a strong cheese, a blue cheese and or a fruit/blended cheese. Our top truckles are very special as they are handmade for us by our Uncles dairy in Goosnargh. The choice of blended cheeses include Wensleydale & Cranberry, Wensleydale & Apricot, Chilli con Cheddar, Double Gloucester & Chives, Lancashire and sweet pickle, Lancashire and Black Pepper are just a few to mention. We do try to avoid soft brie type cheeses in our cakes as most people want their cakes on display for a couple of hours and with softer cheese we would not recommend this. We do however provide additional cheeses to be served when the cake has been cut and portioned up.

Once a decision has been made with regard to the cheese in the cake and any additional cheeses to be served on the side the next question is how is the cake to be delivered. We will deliver and decorate your cake up to 50-60 miles radius of Preston. Outside of this area we use an overnight courier and the cheese will be packed into insulated boxes with coolants, then sent overnight to either your home address or direct to the venue.

This service is for the cheese only as we recommend the cake is decorated in situ with fresh fruit bought locally and put in place just before the cake is required.

If you are in our delivery and decoration area we will come to the venue just before you require your cake, whether this is just before the wedding breakfast or in-between the meal and evening reception. We can decorate with decorative ivy and fruits or just strawberries, figs, passion fruit and kiwi fruit. We can also decorate using fresh flowers and greenery to blend in with your wedding bouquet and flowers.

Once the cheese is chosen and decoration decided upon, you can leave the rest to us safe in the knowledge that you cheese celebration cake will be delivered on time with the quality you expect.
