April 15, 2014

I suddenly had this craving for a cheesecake. I wanted a plain cheesecake with no fruit fillings. Just fruits on top. Banapple didn't have a plain cheesecake. Starbucks has blueberries in it. Oh, never mind, this calls for Jewel's powers! lol! Good thing, I have baking stuff here reserved for my red velvet cupcakes which I haven't used yet. Lucky me!

Here goes!
