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, made using 100% goats milk, this soft cheese is 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 BABY BARON BIGOD - Handmade in small batches using a Brie de Meaux recipe, this soft cow's milk cheese is something truly special. It is made by Fen Farm Dairy in Suffolk using the milk from their own herd of free-ranging Montbeliarde cows. The white rind is nutty and mushroomy and the interior is beautifully smooth and silky with a fresh and citrusy centre.

First Tier: QUICKE'S DEVONSHIRE RED TRUCKLE - Handmade by Quicke's Cheese in Devon using the milk from their own herd of cows. This outstanding cheese has been naturally matured for at least 3-6 months to create a creamy and buttery cheese which has a eye catching orange hue.

Base Tier: COLSTON BASSETT STILTON - Colston Bassett Dairy in Nottinghamshire make an absolutely delicious blue stilton using cow's milk that comes from local farms within 1.5 miles of the dairy. The cheese has a beautiful mellow flavour and is creamy yet tangy without being too acidic.

What our customers say:

"We ordered a Bicton Down Celebration Cake for a 40th Wedding Anniversary & 60th birthday party and it was brilliant. Arrived as promised. Well wrapped up. Tasted excellent and we have frozen the cheddar and stilton that remained. It came with clear instructions and having done plenty of research the Quickes cheeses were the best price for what you cyually received. They even gave us a courtesy call the afternoon it was due to arrive, to check all ok. We would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks to all at Quickes." S.Rodgers, 2023
