Your Centrepiece, Made From Cheese We'd Actually Eat
We've been building cheese wedding cakes for couples across Yorkshire and beyond for years. Every cake is designed around your guest count, your dietary needs and the cheeses you love, then stacked by hand by our cheesemongers so it looks every bit as good as your photographer hopes.
Think of it as your cheeseboard and your centrepiece in one, ready to be cut, admired and devoured well into the evening.

How It Works
From first chat to cutting the cake, here's what to expect when you book a Love Cheese wedding cake.
Consultation
Chat with our cheesemongers in the shop, over the phone or by email about guest numbers, dietary needs and the look you're after. We'll talk through cheese styles, tier heights and how it fits your table.
Tasting And Tier Plan
Come to the Speakcheesey on Gillygate for a private tasting of around 20 cheeses with a drink (£25). Pick your favourites and we'll design the tier plan, balancing textures, strengths and milk types so it looks stunning and eats even better.
Ready For Your Day
Every cheese is sourced to arrive at its peak. We can have the cake ready up to a week before the wedding, to collect from our York shop or to deliver if your venue can store it. We supply the cheese, plus pork pies, chutneys and crackers if you'd like them. Dressing the cake is yours or your caterer's to do, and we'll give you ideas: flowers, foliage and herbs, ribbon or twine, and a topper.
Lead time: we can have most cakes ready within a week, but the tasting and planning take longer, so get in touch as soon as you can.
Every Cake Is Bespoke
There's no fixed price list. Every cake is quoted around your guest count, cheese choices and design. Here's what's worth knowing before you enquire.
We Recommend 80 To 100g Of Cheese Per Person
It's what we build every quote around, so your cake looks generous and nobody runs short before the toasts are done.
Taste Before You Choose
The private tasting at the Speakcheesey is the best part of the process. Around 20 cheeses, a drink, and a cheesemonger to help you narrow it down.
You Pick The Favourites, We Make It Stack
Choose the cheeses you love and leave the engineering, tier sizes, wheel selection and structure, to us.
Loved By Our Couples
“Love Cheese in York have provided a brilliant service for my niece’s wedding. We ordered a cheese wedding cake from Love Cheese. This started with a great cheese tasting session to enable us to choose which cheeses would make up the cake. Love Cheese kept in regular contact between ordering and picking up the cheese wedding cake. When we picked it up it was all boxed up and ready for us, and Harry, the owner, even carried the box to my car for me. The cheese wedding cake was a major centrepiece for the wedding and everyone loved it. A great shop and a brilliant service.”
“We loved the ‘cheese tower’ cake provided for our wedding at York Guildhall by Harry & the team at Love Cheese. It was brilliant (and a great indulgence!) to have a guided tasting beforehand to select our cheeses, and they all worked brilliantly on the night. the cake was a massive hit among our guests and the service provided by Love Cheese is superb. We’d recommend them to anyone!”
