For the holiday season, Kaufmann has carved a variety of festive things, including this “Have a Merry Dairy Christmas” calf she made for New York’s dairy building.
Yet another amazing cheese feat from “The Cheese Lady” Sarah Kaufmann, this Eiffel Tower is a true-to-life replica of the famous Parisian landmark.
Taking a stand as “the big cheese” in Washington, DC, this sculpture of the 16th President of the United States was made from a 1,000-pound block of mild Cheddar cheese by sculptor Troy Landwehr.
At the Indianapolis State Fair in 2009, this hodgepodge of cheese figures totaled a whopping 1,418 pounds! It truly is “the cheesiest rendition of a family” we’ve seen.
