This rich and creamy strawberry cheesecake baked in a jar makes a great picnic dessert.
Cakes in jars are beautiful. My Cakes & Desserts In Jars board on Pinterest is an indication of my love for them. So collecting jars is my new hobby. The plan is to get as many jars as i possibly have storage. Apparently i am going through mid life crisis, well so i have been told because of my obsession with jars.
The sun is out today and getting me all excited of the summer to come and i am craving cheesecake. I am reminiscing about the last picnic in the park which was about 3 years ago. It was in Battersea park. Went for a walk in their lovely botanical garden, fed the ducks. Esme lot her bangles in the pond throwing bread at the ducks and wanted me to go for a swim to rescue it. Lol!!! There will be a picnic organised this summer and i know for sure i will be making a dessert in a jar My collection is going to come in handy. But I am not waiting for summer to satisfy my craving for strawberry cheesecake. No time like now!!!
Happy Baking
