Claire's Birthday

Claire's birthday kicks off our second birthday season. This year, the birthday girl requested a white chocolate cheesecake, which gave me a chance to try my first recipe from a very lush chocolate baking book Kelly and Joel gave me a couple of years back.

Here's the cake after it first came out of the oven.


And - success! The closest to its cookbook picture any of my baking attempts have ever come!



All decorated ready to sing.

Steph and Roger enjoying the fun - before Roger delighted in the cheesecake (two pieces!!!)





Me and Sebastian doing one of his usual faux poses.



Singing and candles.




Yummy gooey goodness!
