Red Velvet Cheesecake

 Tried this recipe to serve in the office last Thursday for belated CNY celebration and corridor decoration competition. It was such a fun day despite everybody was very busy with workload. Nevertheless we managed to decorate the office within few hours just before the competition start. Decoration alone is no fun without food so we also served some festive food including few types contributed by myself. One of my colleague put up a teaser at the corridor entrance to persuade the judges.... LOL.

The cake taste is good with moderate sweetness. There is slight problem with decoration which start to smudge after taken out from fridge due to condensation. The cake also get soaked by the condensation.....

TQ to Maz@Ilhamdapur for sharing a beautiful recipe. Also TQ to Azlita@MasamManis for idea to sketch little rossette that she made on cheese tarts.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION

 Tahun Baru Cina dah berakhir tapi hanya Khamis lepas barulah kami berkesempatan menyambut nya di pejabat dengan acara pertandingan menghias pejabat. Cheesecake ni adalah salah satu juadah yg sempat Along siapkan. Ramai juga yg suka tapi Along kurang puas-hati sbb lorekan atas nya comot apabila kek tu berpeluh selepas di keluarkan dari peti sejuk. Kek nya pun jadi lembab sebab berpeluh....Next time kalau buat, kena makan cepat2....hehe.

TQ Maz atas resipi yg cantik molek ni ya. Juga TQ to Azlita@MasamManis atas idea buat pattern bunga ros kecil yg dia buat atas cheese tarts.
