It was wonderful!
About this Cook
I'm 21 years old, and I'm planning on going to culinary school next year. I love baking, and I hope to be a great Pastry Chef!!
My favorite things to cook
pretty unique cakes, danish pastries, and pies
My favorite family cooking traditions
It's hard to say, my mom is a great cook. In the beginning of December we bake cookies, drink egg nog and decorate the Christmas tree. Love it!
My cooking triumphs
For my birthday I prepared banana split cake, pumpkin spice cake, french silk pie, and raspberry french silk pie for my friends. They were fantastic!
My cooking tragedies
The last time I tried to make jumbo blueberry muffins, I filled the tins to high. Batter spilled into the bottom of the hot oven- ew. I'm usually very careful!

Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake
I decided to use almonds instead of pecans, and it was a great match with the cherries! Also, instead of 1/2 an ounce of white chocolate for on top, I used a full ounce. For all of the cheesecakes I make, I wrap the bottom of my springform in aluminum foil, place it in the bottom half of a broiler pan and pour about an inch of hot water into the pan. This keeps them from drying/cracking. Also, after the time called for in the recipe, I turn off the oven and let it sit inside for an hour. The consistency is perfect every time! This was definitely a hit, and I plan on keeping the recipe for the future.
