Tyler's Ultimate Cheesecake

I made this cake for a friend as a thank you for her kindness and helpfulness! When I asked her what she wanted for me to make for her.... Cheesecake was her response. So the time came for me to make my very first cheesecake. I looked up some recipes on the web and deceided on Tyler's Ultimate Cheesecake from the Food Network.

The Scoop On The Loop

My friend and I tried this new little cafe here in Okinawa called "The Scoop On The Loop." I wanted to share the pictures with everyone because all the little details were so cute.

We both had Iced Coffees

Lemon Cupcakes With Rasberry Jam Filling

Today we had a party for my friend's dog. My friend requested Lemon Cupcakes for us humans to eat. I looked up a cupcake recipe on Cassie's How To Eat A Cupcake blog and found these.

I topped mine with Scooby graham cracker cookies in the shape of bones. I am not a big fan of lemon flavored cakes but these were really good and refreshing. The cake in the picture below was made by the dog cafe we had the party at. Cafe Millet here in beautiful Okinawa, Japan.

Perfect Party Cake

My friend's birthday is this month, the birthday girl requested a cake with fruit. I searched the blogs I follow on a regular basis and found the recipe on this great blog http://therepressedpastrychef.com/2008/07/22/dories-perfect-party-cake-revisited/ The cake was so delicious! It had a light lemon flavor, plus my combination of rasberry and apricot jam filling made it perfect. I would recommend this cake to everyone! I will definitely be making it again.

誕生日おめでと

Nanako!
