An Unforgettable Centrepiece for Your Special Day
If you’re planning a celebration and fancy something truly unique, our Cheese Celebration Cakes at Market Gate Deli might just be the showstopper you’re looking for. Whether it’s a rustic wedding, milestone birthday or an intimate family gathering, swapping the traditional sponge for a tower of beautifully stacked artisan cheeses is a delicious way to make your event stand out.
At Grasmere Farm’s Market Gate Deli, we specialise in carefully crafted cheese cakes — layered with your favourite British cheeses and tailored to suit any style or season.
What is a Cheese Celebration Cake?
A Cheese Celebration Cake is exactly what it sounds like — a stunning, tiered tower of whole cheese wheels, stacked and styled to look like a traditional celebration cake.
Each tier can feature a different cheese, from rich and creamy Bries and blues to robust mature Cheddars or delicate soft cheeses — perfect for grazing boards and pairing with charcuterie, chutneys and fresh bread.
It’s a wonderful savoury alternative to a sweet cake — especially for couples or hosts who want something a little different that their guests will remember.
Why Choose a Cheese Celebration Cake?
✔ Perfect for Cheese Lovers — A crowd-pleaser for guests who love cheese boards and sharing platters.
✔ A Beautiful Centrepiece — Dressed with fruits, herbs, flowers or even seasonal decorations, your cheese cake can be as rustic or elegant as you wish.
✔ Zero Waste — Unlike traditional cake, leftover cheese keeps well and can be enjoyed long after the party is over.
✔ Completely Personalised — Choose cheeses to suit your taste and your guests — mild, bold, British favourites or something a bit more adventurous.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much cheese do I need for my cake?
A good rule of thumb is around 80–100g of cheese per person, depending on what else you’re serving.
Can you help me choose the cheeses?
Absolutely! Our deli team will guide you through the best combinations for flavour, texture and style.
Can I try before I buy?
Certainly! As this is a bespoke celebration cake, you can book a tasting with our team to sample the cheeses you’re interested in.
Can you deliver?
Yes! We can deliver locally or send your cheese cake by courier to anywhere on the UK mainland. Alternatively, you’re very welcome to collect in person if you prefer.
What do we do with the cheese once we receive it?
Please refrigerate the cheeses as soon as they arrive. On the day of your event, bring them out and set up at your venue. Once displayed, the cheese can sit at room temperature for four to five hours — just be sure to keep it out of direct sunlight.
Do you provide decorations and boards?
We’ll supply the cheese only, so you can style your celebration cake exactly as you like. We recommend asking your florist or caterer to decorate it for you.

We also offer a wide range of pork pies – from large slicing pies to individual pies topped with different flavours. Plus snack sausage rolls, crackers and condiments. All perfect partners for your cheese celebration cake.
