Still baking, just not blogging about it. We had this Lemon Yogurt Cake with sweetened whipped cream and blueberries last night. It was very nice. Not a super heavy dessert, which is good sometimes.

Welcome Fall!!

Poor little neglected blog...turns out I haven't felt like baking in months! Something about being pregnant affects my sweet tooth and man is it sad. Lucky for me Fall has come and I always get the itch to bake, especially pumpkin themed or anything that seems related to the season. I'm taking a bit of a break from chocolate since it tastes terrible for the time being. I guess that will lead me on to explore some other things I would otherwise overlook with my chocolate obsession. The other week I made some baked pears with raspberry sauce...not something I would usually even consider as a dessert...needless to say they were quite delicious and really hit the spot without making me too sick.

Spiderweb Cheesecake

I found the idea for this Spiderweb Cheesecake in the October issue of Martha Stewart Living. It was just so cute I had to try it out! I ended up halving the recipe and making it in a regular pie dish rather than the springform pan, so the presentation wasn't quite as stunning, but I knew I didn't need a cheesecake of quite the magnitude of the original recipe. It worked out perfectly in the pan with half the recipe. The things I would do differently if making it again are... 1. the crust turned out a little more crumbly than I would have liked, which was probably my fault for adding a little too many crumbs (not enough butter) 2. It needs to be served very well chilled. Other than that it was pretty tasty for a no bake cheesecake, was pretty simple to put together, and has extra cute gumdrop spiders that go with it. It was a fun and festive project!
