Powerscourt Spring Wedding

Will & Becky April 2013

After leaving the dull days of Winter behind our wedding season started off in April with the wedding of Will & Becky. A beautiful day awaited them at Powerscourt House and they chose to have a very unique English themed wedding.

Will is a local from just down the road in Delgany and Becky came from across the Irish sea to find a handsome Irish man to betroth. They live in Eygpt but decided to return home to exchange their wedding vows.

Their guests were transported via a vintage English bus and the menus were tailor made with some very traditional English dishes.

Vintage Style Bus used to Transport the guests from St. Patrick's Church in Greystones to Powerscourt House in Enniskerry

"Thank you so so so much for everything that you did for our special day. From the moment we contacted you the service has been flawless. You knew exactly what we had envisaged and captured it beautifully. You made everything personal from creating our bespoke English themed menu to congratulating us on the day when we arrived at the House. The detailing and thought that had been put into our menu was perfect and since then we have been inundated with compliments on how fabulous and unique the food was. The service on the day was excellent and our guest wanted for nothing. When we walked into the Ballroom at Powerscourt it was even better than we had imagined. It looked absolutely stunning, everything and more that we could have dreamed of.

Thank you so much again for all of your hard work and commitment on the day, we could have not asked for more. We will definitely being using you again for any other occasion and will be sure to recommend your expert services to anyone that asks."

Wedding Cheesecake

Wedding Cakes with a Difference!

We are all familiar with the traditional wedding cake although some have become quite modern over the last few years offering a different cake in each tier!

Well here's something a little different, a cheesecake, made with tiers of different cheeses.

 Sheridans Cheesemongers have been creating wedding cheese cakes for several years and they now supply hundreds of cheese cakes all over the country each year.

They pride themselves on only supplying the finest quality and value Irish and Continental cheeses. For your big day, you will get the best advice and value from an experienced award-winning cheesemonger; the Irish market-leading wedding cheese cake specialist.

Celebration cakes made from cheese are becoming increasingly popular both here and abroad. It’s not a cheesecake. The basic idea is that - either as an alternative or in addition to the traditional tiered cake - guests are presented with several cheeses which have been stacked one above the other and decorated to resemble a classic wedding cake. To make it look like a traditional cake, round cheeses of decreasing diameters are used. This 'cheese cake' is later disassembled and used as the cheeseboard - an after dinner option which many people prefer to traditional wedding cake anyway!

Sheridans offer lots of options, ideas and advice on choosing your cheeses. You can keep it Irish or they can cater for any other preference that you may have.

Once you have your cheeses selected you can assemble and decorate them anyway you like. The pastry chef wherever the reception is being held will usually be only too delighted to decorate the cake for you.  Or find someone artistic to garnish it in an attractive manner ( you will probably be too busy on the day!) Everyone has their own personal ideas.

Seasonal fruits are a great way to add the finishing touches to your cake. Foliage, fresh figs, green/purple grapes, flowers, and even some figurines all seem to work well. If you are worried about cut flower or leaf stems touching the cheese, wrap the stems in a little clingfilm or foil.

Many customers have also added some chutneys and pickles to go with their cheeses.
