Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake

Posted on July 7, 2012 | 9 comments

I have an insatiable sweet tooth, and I’ve discovered the joy of pinning decadent recipes to a Pinterest board that I call Sweet Tooth.

Summer has arrived and the tempting raspberries are ripening.  

One of those recipes, Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Cupcakes, from Annie’s Eats, is perfect for a sweet raspberry treat.

Make a graham cracker crust, add a cream cheese filling and top with fresh picked raspberries blended to a puree.

Swirl the puree and bake.

Easy and scrumptious!

The blackberries are flowering, and I’m keeping watch for more juicy, plump berries and sweet treats!

And let’s not forget the pie cherries!  I share them with the birds, but I’ll still have enough to savor!

I love summer!

Mint Chocolate Chip Cake

Posted on April 20, 2012 | 5 comments

I’ve been trying out recipes that I’ve pinned on Pinterest and thought I’d share one with you.

I’m not all that great at making cakes, especially fancy ones, but this recipe was easy to make, and if you have a sweet tooth, you might want to try it.

I took the photo outside, since Hubby is taking his turn painting in the kitchen.   Hey!  Why not?  A rustic looking cake on a crystal plate on a rustic picnic table.  Priceless!  LOL!

The original is not rustic at all…like I said…I’m not all that great at making cakes (but they taste good).

You can find this recipe by clicking on the Pinterest button in the sidebar and then clicking on my Sweet Tooth board.  Or you can just click on the photo above.

So…it is later in the evening and I’ve tried another shot for you. 

Hubby and I both think this recipe is a keeper!  Yummy!

Polka Dot Cheesecake

Posted on February 16, 2012 | 11 comments

The Polka Dot Cheesecake caught my eye sometime ago and I pinned the recipe to my Sweet Tooth Pinterest board.

On Valentine’s Day, a day for indulgences, I served this to my Hubby.  And to myself.

He loved it!  So did I.

Please ignore that Christmas tablecloth.  (Not to mention Valentine knick-knacks with a summer/fall plate.)  Fortunately, you can’t see the Christmas wall-hangings and a few other Christmas goodies I have yet to pack away.  Not because I love them so much that I must leave them up.  I just haven’t gotten around to cleaning house, except for the occasional tidying up.  You aren’t like that, I know.

The recipe?  Click here.  It will take you to The Baker’s Daughter where you will find the recipe along with a whole lot more yummy goodies.   And Melissa’s cheesecake looks way better than mine (I didn’t pipe my chocolate), but mine still tastes divine.   I’m sure your presentation will be fabulous too!
