No Bake Cheesecake in a Jar with Kristina Werner

September 23, 2013 by Jenn

I am not crafty.  I try to be when I’m in my Kindergarten room, but I do not have the skills to work the scissors properly.  Give me a mixing bowl and some ingredients and I can make whatever you want, but some paper and glue?  I’m lost.  All those cute Pinterest crafts that people are pinning and recreating?  I don’t even bother trying to pretend that I might be able to figure out how to do it myself one day.  I just move on to fabulous cake ideas!

When we were at YouTube Space LA, we ran into another YouTuber, Kristina Werner, from the YouTube channel Star of May.  We decided to put our heads together and see what we could come up with in a collab together!  We decided for the video on my channel, we would make a No Bake Cheesecake together, and then for her channel, she would show me how to decorate the jar for gift giving!  Yay! You get to see how horrible I am at cutting!!  

But first up, the cheesecake!

How to Make Cheesecake Cupcakes

May 23, 2013 by Jenn

If you’ve been keeping up with my recent blog posts, you will know that my last post was about the best cheesecake recipe I could possibly share with you.  I have this on account of my hairdresser. 

Now, the thing with a full sized cheesecake is that it is so large (not that that is a bad thing for certain occasions or parties) but sometimes, a small cupcake sized serving is just perfect to take the edge of a gnawing sweet tooth.  My sweet tooth never, ever stops gnawing at me, but having one of these small portions sure helps to silence it for a while!   

Unfortunately, when you are me and faced with a couple dozen mini cheesecakes, self control must be put into practice!  That damn sweet tooth and complete lack of self control make a nightmare for person with a freezer full of mini cheesecakes.  It’s a good thing I have a staff room at school to “generously donate” my creations to!

How to Make Homemade Cheesecake

May 21, 2013 by Jenn

This cheesecake recipe is to die for.  I’m not just saying that.  I have it from authority from my hairdresser.  You KNOW that hairdressers are all knowing!   Sandy has been doing my hair since I was 14 and whenever anyone else has done it, I have always been disappointed.  Throughout university, I refused to get my hair cut (not because I was poor, just simply a snob) except at Christmas and in the summer when I would be home to see Sandy.  I’m already dreading the day when I have to find a new hairdresser when she retires . . . hopefully we can work something out, like her never retiring.  That sounds good to me.

On to the cheesecake and why this has anything to do with Sandy!   I made this cheesecake recipe for Sandy’s daughter’s wedding cake and it was ranted and raved about.  This cheesecake has never failed me.  I have made it many times, and each time it yields the same delicious, rich results.  The graham cracker crumb crust, is topped with delicious cheese filling, and finally it is covered with a light sour cream layer to provide just the perfect accompaniment to the cheesecake.
