Hello! It's my frist time posting here. Anyways, today was my friend's brother's engagement party today and she requested wedding cupcakes, the theme was blue but I diverted a little. Vanilla / chocolate fudge cupcakes with coloured english peppermint buttercream frosting. I love how the pastel lavender and white colours contrast against the hues ( Read more... )

decorations, cupcakes

Thanks and my bad. Engagement party. Heh.

lots of cultures have engagement ceremonies followed by big food gatherings. heck, if I ever decide to get married, there's a whole elaborate tea ceremony that's supposed to happen in my family before we pig out.

I don't actually have any recipes since I've never endeavored to make it... but isn't baking the usual method for making cheesecake?

secretsatsixth June 17 2007, 15:55:28 UTC

Oh, theres baked and theres the no baked. My baked cheesecakes were quite unsuccessful the previous times.

obfuscate June 17 2007, 16:00:06 UTC

No bake isn't cheesecake. ;) *snob*

But yeah, I wasn't even thinking of that. I was trying to figure out.. "Fried? Stove top? I DON'T UNDERSTAND!"

lol, I didn't even know you could make a no bake cheesecake!

I have a great recipe that I discovered from Allrecipes:

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chantals-New-York-Cheesecake/Detail.aspx

I would suggest you bake it in a waterbath, but I have made this twice and once it was perfect and the second time my 'waterbath' seeped in, making the crust watery. So I think getting a pan of hot water and putting that on the shelf below the cheesecake would work better.

I have used fat free sour cream and 2 things of fat free cream cheese, two regular. Another time I used all fat everything. haha They were both great in my opinion.

And use 3 T of butter on the crust too - it sticks together better. I also made a little more crust the second time so that I could get it on the sides better.

I topped it with the Supreme Strawberry Topping on the site and some homemade whipped cream. But it was good with or without the topping.Reply

p.s. Whatever you do, once you start the oven for the cheesecake DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR! haha I don't know how much you know about cheesecake baking, but you leave it closed, turn off the heat and ignore it for at least a few hours. Baking it in a waterbath and leaving the door closed will keep it from cracking/sinking.

Re: Cheesecake diyeana June 17 2007, 16:07:15 UTC

... I mean turn off the heat after an hour ...

Good luck.

I wish you could correct your comments.
