Strawberry Cheesecake

For last Sunday’s cake buffet (Pictures coming up this week, I promise), I wanted to do another Cheesecake variation. I love Cheesecake, so I tried one with Strawberries. Looking at it, it feels way more summer’ish than March. My only problem was that at first guests did not really dare to cut it with all those beautiful fruits on top.

The recipe is a variation of the New York Cheesecake that you can find in my German book „Backen mit Love“ (click on the pic to enlarge). For it´s beautiful colour, I just added 3 tablespoon of mashed strawberries to the filling and replaced the blueberry topping with sour cream and fresh strawberries. My original recipe below. If you are not so into German, you can find lot´s of New York Cheesecake recipe variations on the internet.

My Book in Sweet Paul Magazine

Today is the day. German Sweet Paul magazine spring issue is out and 5 entire pages are dedicated to my book. I don´t have to mention again that I love it. I am also very happy for my mum, as they picked her cheesecake recipe as one of the cakes that are featured. So, what’s in it for you if you buy the mag ? As promised you can win one of three crafty handmade super cute Sweet Paul bookmarks that I designed for them together with „Backen mit Love“ (which you already have, of course). However, I have heard that giving and receiving gifts makes people happy. So give the book to beloved ones and, by all means, keep the bookmark to yourself. Good Luck.

I am so looking forward to next week. The German Edition of Sweet Paul Magazine does 5 full pages on my „Backen with Love“ book. I am so happy, the specimen copy of the magazine was in the mail today. Sweet Paul is one of my absolute favorites and I never thought that I could be in it some day. As a „Thank You“, I have designed three cute crafty bookmarks that you can actually win in a competition that they are running. All you have to do is wait for the magazine until it comes out next week (Feb 25th).

It’s Scrapbooking Time

I was in Erkrath yesterday for a „Backen mit Love “ book signing event. I basically moved in there for the afternoon with all my Valentine`s Day stuff. We turned the event into a scrapbooking workshop and it was a blast. Thanks to the lovely people from Buchhandlung Weber who invited me and have such lovely furniture. It was very easy to decorate everything nice. Thanks also, to everyone who came chatted, scrapbooked or bought the book. I still can´t believe that we are already in the 2nd Edition.
