Since I’ve been promising myself for about a week that I would make a cheesecake, I finally got around to doing so last night.  Let me tell you, it is quite the time-consuming process.  The ingredient mixing is the fun part…then comes four hours worth of baking, cooling, chilling and stressing out about whether or not your cake will be destroyed by the base of the spring-form pan.  Luckily, after watching a helpful, random video on topic, I was successful, and the rest is baking history!  I pretty much whipped up the strawberry sauce so the cheesecake wouldn’t look boring.  You know me, I’m all about colour!

Cheesecake verdict: my first time making this wonderful dessert was a huge SUCCESS!!!  Other than a few minor challenges served up by our psychotically hot stove, this was a rewarding experience.  Rewarding in the sense that I got three pieces of cake…
