How to Make Lavender Cheesecake at Home

In the past couple of years, I have spent a lot of time in the kitchen. I have made everything from cookies to brownies to cakes to quick breads. You name it, I have probably baked it. But for some reason, I always found myself avoiding cheesecake recipes – something about its temperamental reputation intimidated me.

    My co-worker saw your Lavender Cheesecake recipe and fell in love with the idea of a lavender cheesecake. She doesn’t bake, but I used to bake all the time as a kid and I loved to make cheesecakes. So I said to my her let’s make the cakes together and have a dinner too. So we did, side by side in my kitchen – she made one and I made one. We live up in the mountains and had to cook them a little bit longer, but they came out perfect! Everyone loved them! So special! (By the way, my mom didn’t ground me, but she got mad at me for baking all the time too!)

Midnights Era - The final era in this cake roundup. Taylor announced her 10th studio album as “a collection of music written in the middle of the night...exploring old memories and midnights past”. We all have stuff that keeps us up at night. It’s what makes us human. But no matter who we are or where we live or what’s going on in our lives - just outside our windows, the same moon and stars shine over us all. And I think there is something comforting about that. So for this final cake, I went for a start night sky. Let me know what you guys think!

Evermore Era - This album is the sister album to Folklore - aka a lot of time in the woods with a more mature indie folk sound. Becuase I decided to stick with a black and white color palate for the Folklore cake, I knew I wanted to create the moss-covered Piano for my Evermore cake. And even though the moss may or may not look like broccoli from some angles, I am pretty happy with how this cake turned out! Let me know what you guys think!
