When it’s your turn to play host or hostess, it’s always nice to have an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert as a go-to when you simply fall short on time. That’s why, for something elegant and somewhat fast to prepare, I ultimately end up making cheesecake. You can dress it up or leave it naked – have fun with it!

Cheesecakes are especially simple which is why I always enjoy adding my own little touch to make them even more delectable and, not to mention, fun to look at. More about my signature cheesecakes and other tasty treats can be found on my bakery’s website www.cuppsvt.com and Facebook page. You can also catch me in the kitchen on TLC’s Next Great Baker. Enjoy!
