Tim's family invited us over for dinner so I made a cheesecake from a recipe in my Juniors cookbook. The dinner was great, and I found out that Tim's sister is a pastry chef. Talk about intimidating! She had 4 rhubarb pies in the oven for another event she was going to and they smelled heavenly. But my lowly cheesecake didn't do too bad. The topping was special: Huckleberries from V.R., picked by Pops, Gentry and I while we waited for the boat to float down to us.
This is the first time I remember making a cheesecake, so I think it turned out well for all the modifications I made (making them individuals, and creating a huckleberry sauce of my own-scary!) Spongecake is on the bottom, with a toasted pecan/coconut crunch topping around the edges. Pretty yummy!

Oh, V, you are so funny!!
You, my dear friend Lainey, have NO reason to fear or be intimidated by a "professional" pastry chef!!! Your cheesecakes were beautiful and beyond delicious! Thank you so much for sharing one with me! Thanks to you, though, I had to go for a run this morning!!
I keep checking FedEx for the special delivery packages but it doesn't look like these pastries have arrived yet.
