Can this Birthday Cake be called a "Cheese Cake"?

By
Industry Observer

I always make my brother a birthday cake and it always has to be something as unique as he.   He's not ever really been a fan of sweet things and this year, especially so as he's dealing with some weird health issues.

I know he loves my charcuterie boards and equally, my cheese boards so this is the Birthday Cake I came up with:

Layered Brie Cheese with Spiced Honeyed Walnuts
"frosted" with Whipped Bleu & Chevre Cheese.

I decorated it with a Prosciutto Rose to make it a wee bit more festive.

This is the photo he sent me of he and his girlfriend enjoying it.  When I asked for his feedback, he said

"Magnifi-frikkin-cent!"

I guess you could say it was a success, lol

Susan,

We understand your brother's preference!

Ron and I had a friend who had a guacomole cake for her birthday since she was a litlte girl.  She did not want the regular sugary cake!  To each their own, and what a great idea!

Hi Susan- you are so creative!!! Who would have thought of making a rose out of prosciutto!  I usually make my own birthday cake because it's like the one my mother used to make for me.

Good morning, Susan... this looks great and I'm delighted your brother enjoyed it. As for me... give me the sugary cake! I believe that life is short and that I should eat cake first!

Our family isn't really known to have a sweet tooth.  I'm glad you enjoy yours!
