The sweet treat is a five-tier cake made of cheese. According to Simon Mercer, the director of the cheese company, they created it for the royal couple.
"We made it for them. It's to celebrate their wedding and to offer our congratulations to them. We do get asked to make wedding cakes occasionally. We have been asked in the past to do it," Mercer told the publication.
The cheese wedding cake includes a variety of layer. It has Black Bomber, an extra mature cheddar; Red Storm, a vintage Red Leicester; Beechwood, a smoked cheddar; and Green Thunder, a cheddar with garlic and herbs.
