Now That's What I Call A Cheese Cake!

In September we attended the wedding of our nephew in London. He was the son of Vince's sister. Four of Vince's five brothers also attended. We stayed in a very nice hotel in Guildford for two nights and enjoyed our time together on what was a momentous occasion.
There was a civil ceremony in a lovely ancient manor house. Some months previously, Clandon House, the original choice for the reception, had burnt down. After the ceremony, a Catholic priest and a Jewish rabbi combined to help blessings on the young couple. We were treated to a lavish meal but one of the highlights was the selection of cheeses. I've seen a few cheese cakes in my time but never one quite like this. Of course it isn't a cheesecake in the usual sense of the word.

Funny that you should call this a cheese cake. New York calls itself the capital of cheese cakes but, of course, the best cakes come from Austria and Germany. A cheese cake is sweet and not made with cheese but with Quark which is a kind of cottage cheese.

They had a wedding cake as well. And the desserts were to die for! I must post about them one day. Three tall glasses each with a different filling. Lemon posset seems to be the 'in' pudding. I'd never heard of it then came across it several times in the course of a month or two.

@JudyEv I am thinking in smaller terms like for Christmas entertainment. I imagine it would be several hundred dollars depending what type of cheese it is.

I've no idea what a round of cheese like that bottom one would cost. A small fortune I would think.

@BelleStarr Cheese seems quite pricey just for a part of a round but for Christmas and as something special, it is certainly eye-catching.

Now, that is something I have never heard of before. I guess, that family loves cheese cake.

There were a hundred or so guests at the wedding so I guess they ate quite a bit of the cheese.

@JudyEv I was thinking it's a huge amount of cheese actually, was it all eaten during the party?

That looks so tasty. It is so nice to go to fancy weddings or parties and eat the lavish food.

We had some really nice food at this one - and Moet and Chandon champagne - all night!

That looks very impressive, and unusual. I'm glad you had a nice time.

There is such a lot in the presentation of things isn't there? This looks too good to cut into I think.

What a brilliant idea to display the cheeses like that. It looked mighty fine. I love cheese and I like cheese cake sometimes although it is quite cloying to the palate.

I only like the mild cheeses but a cheese-lover would be in seventh heaven with this.

Whoa! I haven't seen something like that and I haven't tasted other kinds of cheese other thank eden, cheddar, mozzarella and parmessan. That would be exciting to see.

I like brie and camambert. Not so keen on strong cheeses.

When arranged like this, it looks like a wedding cake doesn't it?

Oh, I get it! A cake made with blocks of cheese. Were they as tasty as they looked?

Never saw one of these before. They must prefer salty to sweet. Me too, but so much cheese? Maybe not.

What a shame that you can't eat too much dairy - but there are lots of other yummy foods I guess.
