Much to Tim’s dismay, he is quickly being supplanted by my ever increasing love of cheesecake. This was for my Aunt/second mother’s birthday, and I wanted it to be perfect, which of course meant fretting over it and worrying the base would not come off the pan.

Unlike last time, I used a plain biscuit and flavoured it with a homemade blueberry coulis, some of which went into a third of the batter to be swirled through in some funky looking patterns. More of it was carefully spooned on top in concentric circles, with a toothpick used to drag out the pattern.

Ms Jen and I both agree that it looks so much prettier uncooked! But then, that could just be a by-product of the lighting…

Using as simple a set up as this. I borrowed a whiteboard  and some A3 sheets of paper, along with a study lamp to make a vague sort of lightbox, given it wasn’t quite bright enough outside. I love the warmth and lilac colours brought out in it. The cake was a hit, setting despite my fears and everyone oohed and aahed over the presentation!

  6. Pretty! (I think I use this word too often on your blog, hrmm). I only think it’s prettier before its been baked ’cause the colors are sharper and more defined, though. :)

  7. I have to admit to being partial to a good cheesecake and this one looks lovely. Clever work on the decoration and sneaky lighting tricks too!

    It could also be good as a raspberry version, perhaps with a chocolate biscuit base?
