I have a few fun things that are keeping me busy, I will be able to share the fine details soon!

For now, a cheesecake.

I made this for Justin’s 26th birthday a couple weekends ago! He requested cheesecake instead of traditional b-day cake this year, which is fine by me because I love cheesecake.

To make it special, I swirled caramel topping on top before the cheesecake baked (I used Smucker’s caramel topping, it is lazy but so good.) Then, I thinly sliced strawberries and placed them on top.

In hindsight, I would have arranged the strawberries around the outside edge of the cake because having them in the center made it difficult to cut slices. Nevertheless, it was probably the prettiest cheesecake I’ve ever made, and most delicious.

We brought it up to Maine for the long weekend and shared it with his family at the yearly barbecue.

Here is a look at birthday cakes I’ve made for Justin in years past:
