Partners birthday next Monday instead of cake would a cheese platter for his office with lots of biscuits be ok maybe some chutney too. I was going to make him a Batman cake but he’s obsessed with cheese and biscuits was going to get lots of nice cheeses and pile them up with a big box of crackers grapes and chutney I’ve got some Lego Batman figureeens that I will but in between and one big candle or shall I stick to a cake

That sounds amazing! I love cheese and hate cake though.

I love a good old fashioned cheese board.

Or: Loads of people have a cheese tiers these days. My friend had this at her birthday party.
What about a smaller version:
a small Brie and a small round goats cheese would give you 2 tiers? For starters.

M&S does a 3 tier cheese cake (as in cake made of cheese not cheesecake)

Now, I love cheese, but for something to take into the office I would stick with the traditional cake. Easier to eat!

That's true. Tesco does one for £30. M&S do one for £95.

Cheaper just to pick a few cheeses yourself though. From any supermarket or deli. Not hard or no artistic talent really needed.

I take cheese into the office when it’s my birthday as I don’t like cake. It always goes down well.

Cheese sounds brilliant.

Most people who work in offices eat too much cake because it's always there but really they're sick of the sight of it.

A colleague of mine brought in home made samosas once and people were a lot more excited about those than a box of doughnuts.
