My first home made cheesecake. I got the recipe from a friend, we had to change it a bit because hers was for a cookie dough cheese cake. While making the cheese cake I ran into many complications, first my cord to my mixer got all tangled up while trying to mix the creme cheese and splenda, after getting it un-tangled and the rest of the ingredients mixed together I finally had my cheese cake assembled. I popped it in the oven, set the timer and 45 minutes later I went to check it, my cheese cake was growing, and the middle was still sunk down. I was confused and un-sure if my cheese cake was done, so I called my mother in-law. She talked me through on how to check it, just like any cake I grabbed a butter knife stuck it in the middle and pulled it out, it was not done yet. Ten minutes later and my cheese cake was GIANT! I did not know that they puffed up that much. So I got it out of the oven and let it cool and into the fridge it went. Shrinking down to normal size again! Thank goodness. The next day me and my niece decorated it with blue berries and strawberries for the 4th of July. The butter knife had caused a huge crack in the middle of the cake so we decided to make that a star.
Cheese cake is by far my favorite dessert, and much to my surprise mine turned out delicious. I have never received so many comments on something that I had cooked. I felt so proud. After hearing all the praises and seeing all the beautiful fireworks, and spending tons of time with my family it was time to go home. While laying in bed tired and ready for sleep my wonderful husband told me he was proud of me, that "you can be the person with a great meatloaf and its great, but when your the person with a to die for cheesecake your the life of the party" It filled me with Joy to hear these words from my husband who praises his mamma's cooking to do the same over something that I cooked. I was one happy and joyful wife. Its one 4th of July I will never forget!
