Tips on cutting cheesecake

Cutting a cheesecake can be a bit messy..(or any other cake, but cheesecake in particular is extra messy for me, and just won’t work with the usual ‘cake knife’ ๐Ÿ˜€ )

I’d like to share with you the best way to cut it into perfect slices ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • use a normal long & sharp knife
  • run it under hot water
  • wipe the knife dry using a cloth / towel
  • cut the cheesecake! you’ll get perfect lines
  • and when your knife gets dirty, just clean it and repeat ๐Ÿ˜‰

hope this helps ๐Ÿ™‚

mango cheesecake

we made this mango cheesecake at home on Sunday, and we got to ate it only last night….and it was HEAVENLY!!

hubby brought half of it (yes, we gulped the other half! would’veย eaten the whole cake if you asked me!..haha) to his office today to share with hisย office mates…can’t wait to hear theirย feedbackย ๐Ÿ˜‰

Just look at it, ain’t it just tempting ๐Ÿ˜‰

 

Cheesecake + choc cake

inspired by the Crumb Boss‘s Red Velvet Cheese Cake, I made this chocolate cake + cheesecake = Chocolate Cheese Cake ๐Ÿ™‚

it has two layers:

+ bottom layer: moist chocolate cake

+ top layer: vanilla cheese cake with choc cake crumbs

and I covered the whole cake with butter cream ๐Ÿ™‚

I sure hope Habsah from Cherating likes the cake she ordered, and a happy birthday to her sweet daughter Humaira ๐Ÿ˜‰ thanks for ordering ๐Ÿ™‚
