Cheesecake Please with a CHERRY on top!


Oh its so lovely. I don't even want to cut into it. But of course, my friend Cindy got to my house before I did. When you are me, and you hear her DAILY asking when Cheesecake day is, you just go straight in and cut the cheesecake into pieces, just like the chef taught you. :)  You don't wait, you don't pass go, and you don't even get to collect the 200.  Honestly! Where is the prize in all of this? ;) The prize is most definitely the end result! It tastes so very good, super silky and smooth.  We had a choice of making Graham cracker or Oreo crusts and they both turned out lovely.  I chose Graham Cracker because I love Classics!  Since the Cheesecake was dedicated to Cindy, I made it a Cherry topping cake vs a Chocolate topping. You can pretty much put any topping you'd like or decoration. A few people in the class did some cute designs with their chocolate. Very innovative. I love Cherry Cheesecake myself so it was a win win situation.

Quick Tip of the day: A cheesecake is ready once you see it souffle up!  Let it cool in the fridge and decorate to your liking.

Catch you guys tomorrow! Ohhh and I passed my test with a 98 :-) Wooo Hoooo getting closer to that 100%!! Crossing all fingers.

  3. Well, let me start by "Mmm Mmm Good"! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU "M"

    I would like to say that Cherry Cheesecake was great but that's not a good enough word for it. Cheesecake Factory, eat your heart out!!! I have tasted many cheesecake and I have to say this one IS the best I have ever had! Normally I finish the topping before the cake but this time the last thing on my plate were the cherries. Linda's cheesecake is firm yet melts in your mouth and the flavor was sweet and creamy throughout the experience which is what I call it...The Experience! It really is.


    Thanks soooo much for letting me taste that heavenly Cherry Cheesecake!

    And now for your next magical experience, I'm thinking Vanilla Cake with a Chocolate Frosting. Please and Thankyou!

    Xoxoxoxo. ;)
