Feeding 30 to 60, the Austin party cheese is a great stack for a gathering, coming in at 3.3kg and 31cm high to the top of the heart, it would feed about 45 for an evening do or up to 60 for after dinner cheese if your just wanted a small nibble or had other food too. All cheese other than the camembert are vegetarian so it's easy to make fully veg, just check out below for instructions.
If you wanted to add a bit more cheese, add on a baby manchego or a baby Yarg, either would fit in perfectly above the stilton
You can order a sample pack of the Austin, consisting on 100g of each cheese or 200g of each cheese.

You can have a number of different toppers on this cake, see the pictures for examples. Choose from the star as pictured on the main cake, a Godminster cheddar Heart, a brie heart (Neuf Chatel), or an ashed Goats cheese called Dorstone.
For a gathering we recommend 50 - 100g per person, depending if the cheese is to be eaten straight after the meal or later in the evening and with other food or by itself. (So the lower amount it shows as feeding is based on 50g and the higher is 100g) We can very happily advise over email so drop us a line on info@mousetrapcheese.co.uk for ideas for a bespoke cheese board for your wedding or event.
