My cheesecakes...

Durian Cheescake

 This is how it all started...my cheesecake journey.....   
      
 It has been awhile since my last baking, that was during my son's first birthday. The durian fruit was in season that time. So I decided to make a Durian cheesecake. ...it was a big hit then!




    

Another time during our high school batch reunion, I brought this mouth-watering cheesecake for our dessert.  At first, I was hesitant to make one because the restaurant we were going to served cheesecakes. 
  I wanted to be thoughtful to everyone so I brought it anyway.






  Well, of course, who would resist CHOCOLATE and plus they didn't have to pay for it! ...hehehe... It was free for everybody so it must be good, right?!  .....But no, really it was super duper soooo yummy!  I didn't expect that it would be a hit!  I have thought that cheesecake would not be appreciated well here in the Philippines... Yah, I was so so wrong.  Most of them right away expressed interest in ordering one....                 


     So, I got inspired and thought of pursuing this as a business....clever! I know, right?! 

   I started selling them since December of last year.  So far, I've got really nice comments about the cakes... It was worth it knowing that I'm getting satisfied customers.  This one here, I made during our thanksgiving feast at church.


       

 I sold mostly the chocolate bliss and few of the blueberry cheesecakes.

     For now,  I am planning to experiment on other flavors, specifically a mango-flavored one.  I've been wanting to do this for quite sometime now... I and my hubby loves mango and so everyone here in the Philippines.  Hopefully, it will also be a great addition to my cheesecake selections.
