Hi Suki, sounds as if you have a new reader and a sweet tooth;)
Hmm, I'm devouring the cake too, I don't think there will be any left until your mom's birthday...
Yummy. I'm not good at baking cakes but now I COULD do a cheesecake with your recipe, if I wanted.
Have a nice day
Andrea
PS is it still night there?
I apologize for my bad grammar, I should always re-read what I write,
I meant it sounds as if you had a new reader who is a sweet tooth too.
Bye

Yummmmm Wow can I come too? lol. That cheese cakes sounds & looks wonderful.
FIVE DEGREES OUT? DANG. That is COLD... I can see why florida is looking good about now. lol
This looks to die for... save me a slice? Happy Birthday to your Mum for me on Saturday; I hope you all have a super lovely day together :-) It's about 16 degrees here but high winds and lots of rain... I'd like to give Florida a try too: I'll meet you on the Keys ;-)
Thanks to all for your comments and happy birthday wishes for Mom. I'll mail slices of the cake to you.
I am not good at baking regular cake, it always falls, but cheesecake for some reason comes out ok.
Andrea how can I answer your ? is it still night here??? Usually I write on my blog in the daylight hours, I can say that much. When it's midnight in Paris I think it's 6 hours earlier here?? so it'd be 6 pm which now at this time of year is dark or night.????
This will be yummy! coming over for a slice! Today is my daughter's 39th birthday, and yesterday was my brother's 71st!
Happy Birthday to all theses generations! Happy Birthday Suki's MOM!
Andrea up at 2am. YOu are a night owl. Yes, I was making the cake early in the am around 8:30 am but it gets light here around 7 am now because we changed the clocks. Maybe you don't do that in France??? We move our clocks back an hour so it is light earlier in the am.
