Hi Aunty,

Your cake looks so yummy, I am salivating as I looks at it. BTW, do you bake daily, if so, do you eat your goodies, if so do you put on weight ??? If not, can you tell me the secret to it??
Actually, your family is very lucky to have you to bake them so many yummy goodies to eat. Can you please post your recipe of this cheesecake ? Thank you.

Rgs, susan

Hi Susan,

I definitely must eat all my bakes so that I know the taste and the textures. So everyday I eat about 6 items of my bakes but all small slices...but after an hour, I will get the best bake of the day and eat again. No secret for being slim but I think all the bakes makes me lose kilos instead of adding. Cos I move a lot and not sitting down the whole day.

hi aunty yochana,
i'm a cheesecake lover. i have a doubt in baking, why everytime i bake it comes out filling is ok but the top is hard and cracking. what's wrong with me? you advised to switch on the oven, place the water-bath and batter and bake. my problem is after start preheating the oven, i prepared the mixing. after completing mixing the batter, the oven is already moving very fast. so when is the best time to put the cheesecake inside the oven? please help me.
