Sweet Mother of Peanuts!

Ah...sweet chocolate and peanut butter. You melt in my mouth as would ice on a hot summer's day. You are more creamy and delicious than a cup of warm cappuccino.

I've been test baking my recipes to finalize them for the new restaurant opening up in a month. I have yet to make my carrot cake, chocolate cakes, and pies. I will soon accomplish that.

This is my Reese's PB Cheesecake. Bits of Reese's Cups rest atop two layers of peanut butter and Reese's Cup swirled within vanilla bean cheesecake, drizzled with sweet milk chocolate and a salty peanut butter blend. This cheesecake will be given to friends to taste test!

My vision is to create sweets and cakes that are unheard of, ones that are so absurd and grand that people will be confused and intrigued into tasting them. And there, my friend, is where my creativity is unleashed. Dare I dabble in the cheesecake field? YES! I have tested many recipes and experimented with different types of cheeses, eggs, sugars, creams, and flavors. I have only had to throw away two cheesecakes. Those cheesecakes were never to see the light of day. No man, woman, or child would be allowed to see the monsters I had created. Into the trash bin they flew and I continued in my search for the perfect combination of flavors.

In my mind I have many ideas and combinations I want to try. I look forward to posting my outcomes and successes. Next, a lemon blueberry cheesecake. Who said cheesecakes have to be plain and boring?!
