My version does not look as professional, but hey, for my first layer cheesecake I think I did pretty great!
I actually made this cake for my extended family on Christmas. It was a huge success! Due to time constraints I was forced to use pre-made cream cheese frosting, but I think it went over well. This cake freezes quite nicely and it can be made in three parts. Good luck and happy baking!
YUM, it looks just delicious!! You did a fantastic job! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Thank you so much! I look forward to trying many more of your amazing recipes in the future!
