Woman Carves A Cheesy Nativity Scene From 88 Pounds Of Cheese

Ahh Christmas, the season of giving, love, spreading joy and apparently, a time for architectural structures from food.

There’s the popular gingerbread house, Santa’s sleigh made from chocolate, and of course, the big cheese: a nativity scene made from cheddar.

If you haven’t heard of cheese sculpting, don’t fret, you are not alone. Cheese sculpting is a rather new form of art perfected by Prudence Staite, a food artist from Gloucestershire, U.K.

She has recently defied the laws of dairy when she crafted a Biblical Nativity scene from 40 kilograms (88 pounds) of cheddar cheese.

Holy Cheesus that’s a lot of cheddar:

While the cheese nativity is good, we’re inclined to say farmer Sally Williamson’s potato nativity from last year is a whole lot cheddar.
