Cheesecake

If you are looking for something impressive, this is a easy cheesecake recipe for you. Almost everybody loves cheesecake and it looks good! 

Paired with my D-I-Y Cake Stand, it looks fabulous! 

Look at those shiny raspberries! With some simple garnishing like adding mint leaves, it really brings the cake to a whole new level!

I love afternoon tea breaks! I often ask my friends to visit me so that we could have cakes together!

10. Microwave raspberry jam until it liquefied. Spread on top of the cheesecake. Garish with raspberries.
