Most amazing Cheese cake




I have spent the past 2 days making a cheese cake. I checked out a book at the library all about cheesecake and I was going CRAZY to make one! I've had the book less then a week... ;) It is a great book!
It took a lot of time and effort to make the cake, but I LOVED making it! It was really pretty fun. I was so very impressed with myslef because the cheese cake didn't crack or sink or crumble. It was really a perfect cheese cake. The top half is chocolate moose and the very top is chocolate ganache. I think it turned out so beautifully. I have only eaten a sliver to make sure it tastes good. We will eat the rest after dinner tonight! I can't wait. I may gain a few pounds from it though. It tastes AMAZING! I am so happy to have made a good delicious cheese cake! Now I won't have to buy them! Although- to make it was REALLY pricey (like $20 of ingredients) Yikes...

when you think about it, compared to a regular cake, the $$ to Calorie ratio is in favor of the cheese cake. Based on calories the cheesecake is a bargain.

Oh it turned out so pretty! You have turned into a little baker Sarah! It looks delicous- I look forward to the day when we can send food through email, because I really want a bite - well - actually- half of that cake. I hate how expensive it is- I made a cheese cake awhile ago (first time)- and it was so spendy. BUT- I think they taste better home made! love you!
