Sometimes I get a bit ahead of myself and like to take on many different “projects” at once. So of course, with my busy as a bee mentality I decided to not only throw a banquet dinner for the towns athletic teams, but I also found it a good idea to take on the task of hosting a bake sale that same weekend. Keep in mind this is on top of my regular schedule, which consists of a day job, a night job, school, and coaching a basketball team. So I guess you can say I was a bit overwhelmed. With the days winding down till the weekend. I was beginning to feel the pressure. I needed some dessert and some “baked goods” for both of the events. Then it hit me, I don’t have time to make all of these, why not order them? Then I realized David’s Cookies is always my answer. I ordered 6 strawberry cheesecakes. I had never had the cheesecakes from David’s at this point in time, but I had faith in them. When they arrived I put them in the fridge. The next day was the sports dinner so I brought four with me and when dessert came around I had them set out. I was a little worried at first, but nobody seemed to have any problems finished them. All of it was gone and I got so many compliments. I won’t lie. I told them I made it so I could take the credit for the amazing cheesecakes. However, when I was asked for the recipe by one of the parents I had to admit it was from David’s. So with one event down and one to go the pressure was lifted. Only would the cheesecakes be as big of a success this time around since they had to be paid for? So at the bake sale cookies and cup cakes where flying, the cheesecake not so much, I think it was partially because its much easier to eat a cupcake on the go rather than a piece of cheesecake. Finally one woman bought a slice and after her raving review a few more pieces started to go. Eventually everyone kept talking about how great the cheesecake was. So I bought a slice myself. Each slice is packed with loads of creamy filling, graham cracker crust and sweet strawberries I couldn’t believe how good it was. Before I knew it the one pie was gone and a woman offered to pay $75 dollars for the whole cheesecake. Needless to say I let her, and I think David’s probably got a couple orders off that weekend excursion of mine.



Oh, wow, what a great picture of your cheesecake. It looks so good, and cheesecake is truly one of my favorite desserts (I even used cheesecake for my own wedding cake in lieu of a traditional cake). Yummy!
