I absolutely loved this! I used a 10" springform. I was in a hurry and didn't let the cake portion cool completely. As a result, the very middle never fully set up because the cream cheese mixture sort of blended with the cake middle. It actually worked out kinda nicely because when I cut the cheesecake after chilling completely, the middle was still kind of creamy like a boston cream pie :) I topped mine with the chocolate ganache and piled mini marshmallows in the middle after the ganache cooled. The marshmallows are a VERY good flavor addition. I would recommend trying that even with cupcakes as a decoration. I will be making this time and time again! Thanks for an awesome recipe!

Hi Everyone!
I have just changed my image here on 'zaar. The big bird in the pic is none other than me, BirdyBaker. It was from Halloween 04. I made the costume myself and it was so much fun!. I am a highschool student and I love photography,painting crafts and everything else artistic. I LOVE to write, anything, from essays to fiction to poetry. It's so much fun! I also am very interested in Asian culture and want to work in Japan someday. I have a passion for cooking and try to cook as much as I can, trying to make a different dish each time. I am just crazy over my 3 birds, George Arthur, Bailey and Jazzy, hence the name "BirdyBaker"...lol
