Cheesecake is probably my favorite... no Cheesecake IS my favorite so it's the one I have the most fun with. Lemon Pudding cheesecake (pictured) was a whim. Sometimes as I am baking - I start with an idea and as I am making it the idea changes - grows - develops into an entire new idea. This cheesecake was just that. I had been talking about Key Lime Pie to someone and had no Key Limes but I did have a bunch of lemons!

Last weekend was a Red Velvet Cheesecake... unfortunately I didn't get a picture of it. At Christmas my mom had a Red Velvet "cheesecake" that my aunt picked up somewhere. The idea of this excited me. But when we opened the box the cheesecake was really a Red Velvet cake with a layer of vanilla cheesecake on top. After making a couple orders for red velvet cupcakes and cakes, I kept the idea of the cheesecake in my head. On Father's Day, I took the plunge and used the principles of a red velvet cake and applied it to the cheesecake... buttermilk, cocoa, vinegar and red dye. I topped the whole thing off with white chocolate buttercream! And although I wasn't thrilled about using a gel dye it was beautiful! Oh how I wish I would have gotten a picture!
Unfortunately I get ideas for cheesecakes faster than I can bake them and since we don't have a storefront yet I need to find a way to "share" them so I don't eat the whole thing! It also makes it hard for me to narrow down the list of selections to put on a menu.... so many cheesecakes...
I'll work on getting pictures of goodies as I make them.
Happy Baking!
