I used to make wedding cakes way back when. The memory of how stressful it was still haunts me whenever I see a pastry bag with a #1 piping tip (the smallest, most exacting one). Given that experience, not to mention my work now as culture’s editrix, you’ll not be surprised when I declare that I’m very much in favor of the trend toward Wedding Cheese Cakes—grand stacked tiers of cheese wheels that are embellished with flowers and fruits, in the style of a traditional nuptial cake. All that’s missing is the sugar. These cheese tiers are a delicious, beautiful, and much less fragile way to create an edible monolith, compared to umpteen layers of cake and butter cream.

And now it’s easier and more fun to plan for a wedding cheese cake, thanks to a clever cheese merchant in England who has launched a new online design service called the “The Cakebuilder.”

Hey Guys! Happy Halloween. Now I’m sure if you are reading this, you are always looking for a way to add a little cheese into your life. Well, if you are still looking for a Halloween costume for your child, I have a cheesy (literally and figuratively) idea to throw your way. Behold, the Mac N’ Cheese costume. You can't tell me that this kid is not going to collect the most candy.

I wish I was still young enough to go trick-or-treating. Also, how overrated is candy? I'd much rather have my pillowcase filled with an assortment of delicious cheeses. Can we figure out how to start this please?

I just got this inspiring little blog from Anya, a young contributor to our magazine:

Hello my name is Anya Firisen. I am ten years old and I wanted to make cheese. I thought that cheese making was interesting because I love cheese and I love to cook. So I thought, well why don’t I try to make the cheese that I love so much. So when my Mom got my Dad a book called “Home Cheese Making” by Ricki Carroll for his birthday, I really wanted to try it for myself. My Mom said, “You and Anya can make cheese together!” When we went over to our friends’ house their mom said “I booked a cheese making class but now I can’t go, do you want to go in my place?” Of course I said yes.
