Pork Pie Wedding Cakes!

Why not try something different when it comes to your wedding cake. You could follow the example of Charlie Adie and Nicola Bell who ordered a 3 tier pork pie cake for their wedding day. This option for an innovative savoury wedding cake is becoming increasingly popular and it certainly solves the fruit or sponge decision you and your fiance will have to make!!

Back in March, Joanne Robinson also asked her local butcher to create a massive pork pie cake (22.6kg) for her fiance Stuart Booth.

Butcher Simon Haigh was certainly new to this latest wedding trend, though the picture shows he didn't do too badly!

"We've never heard of one before - certainly not a three-tier. The mammoth pie was baked and assembled over a 24-hour period at Hinchliffe's farm shop in Netherton, near Huddersfield. Mr Haigh, the shop's owner said: "It has been very much a labour of love - a real team effort. We started making the pork pie on Thursday morning and there was two or three of us working on it for 24 hours. I think it is the strangest request anyone has ever had. We've never heard of one before - certainly not a three-tier."
