Last week was such a busy week for me... for us actually. I got married this weekend and spent the week busily making shortbread for our champagne reception. I made 8 different varieties of shortbread. Chocolate chip, ground vanilla, cardamom and rosewater, plain with a diamond shaped jelly in the middle, chocolate and crushed chillies, spicy chai and lavender earl grey. All were consumed with great ease. Also guests received a delicious shortbread sampling to take with them. Unfortunately shortbread was the only thing I made. Olives, fruit, crackers and a cake of cheese set the table.
This was our wedding cake. Completely made of cheese. The inspiration came from Marks and Spencer and Fortnum and Mason. Knowing that they could not deliver something like this we opted to create our own. Save On More was most accommodating in ordering and cutting the particular types of cheeses. Guests definitely had the pleasure of dismantling this cake.
Finally us! It was a lovely day of bright sun and pure glistening snow. - JW
