Paxton & Whitfield unveil new Celebration Cakes

With the return of larger weddings, celebrations and gatherings, the team of expert cheesemongers at Paxton & Whitfield, Britain's oldest cheesemonger, have designed an entire new collection of celebration cheese cakes to suit all occasions. From a miniature celebration cheese cake to a large celebration cheese cake catering for up to 100 guests, they make a delicious alternative to the more traditional wedding cake. Each one is made using a carefully selected range of artisan cheeses to not only create a striking centrepiece but also an appetizing medley of cheeses to enjoy once the cake is cut.

When ordering, customers can reserve a cake for a delivery date in the future and this date can be confirmed at payment. Customers just need to allow seven days before delivery. The cheese is freshly selected, packaged with 100% sheeps' wool insulation and icepacks, and delivered on an overnight carbon-neutral delivery service for an immaculate arrival. A postcard explaining how to assemble the cake is included within the parcel, all customers need to do is construct and decorate it to whatever theme they desire.

All the cakes are available online at www.paxtonandwhitfield.co.uk
