Honestly not sure what this has to do with cheese, or even what I am looking at.

Say Cheese!: The old photographer's cliché is now a challenge topic. Use cheese as the subject of your photo to make your audience smile.

I hate to be playing English teacher here or come off as a DNMC critic, especially that English is NOT my native language but dissecting the description makes it pretty clear:
USE CHEESE as the SUBJECT of your photo to make YOUR AUDIENCE SMILE.

Based on the capitalized letters I had the following expectations in this challenge:
1. There would be cheese (even if implied) in the photo (Cheddar, Swiss, Gouda...etc). This cheese would be the SUBJECT of the photo. (Subject - Synonyms: matter, topic, theme. These nouns denote the principal idea or point of a speech, a piece of writing, or an artistic work.)

2. This is open to discussion but by Audience I would assume either the voters, or, someone in the photo looking at cheese

3. the photo would be somewhat funny as to make me smile.

After reviewing your photo, I feel it does not meet the challenge either because there is no cheese in the photo or because it's not funny. Or both.

There is too much going on to get the meaning of this photo

I would have like it with more DOF and both were in focus. Great Idea!

interesting use of candle light - looks to be either out of focus a tad or else soft

Sorry, it's too many colors, too many different things going on to be attractive for a catalog shot.

Your title is very cute. I like it a lot. I like the shadows under the spoon, they are very sharp. I think that this image would have done much better in the challenge if you had used something to diffuse your light source. The glares are very distracting on the spoon. The spoon should be shiny but with no flaws or smudges present. It is very hard to accomplish this when photographing such a reflective subject. If you notice, your spoon is only in focus in the middle. With the spoon being the only item in the photo, it would have been better if the entire part visible would have been in focus.
