Hi Paula,

They are tart, but coated in sugar. I love them, but everyone has different tastes. You can try a few ahead of time and see what you think.

Thanks, Zoë

I’m going to make the cheesecake for a Xmas Party and am wondering if someone eats a cranberry wouldn’t it be too tart?

Thanks, Paula

Hi Carol,

Last time I asked about this, I was told that WordPress didn’t have a print only option, but things change quickly on the web and I will check again.

Thanks! Zoë

when a recipe is printed it is easily 12-14 pages which I find hard to sleeve. Is there another way to print from website with out pics, although they are so helpful for online reference. Other websites with pics also have a printable version of just written recipe and I was wondering if I am missing this option on your website.

I have baked your Devil’s Food Cake of recent and it is hands down the best I have tasted/baked (and my files are full of similar recipes). I am now wanting to bake the pumpkin cheesecake. I am thinking it will top the one I currently bake (and love). Why not bake the best–and that is where you come in. Thanks so very much. Carol

Hi Belinda,

Once the cake is cooled completely, a few hours at least, you can cover the top with plastic wrap, place a flat plate over that and remove it from the pan. Once you invert it onto a serving plate, you remove the plastic and it will be as good as new. This post shows you how: http://zoebakes.com/2008/02/25/key-lime-cheesecake-with-home-made-graham-cracker-crust/

Hope that helps! Zoë

You used a regular cake pan. After you garnish the top with the sour cream, how do you take it out of the pan without marring the top?

A Granola crust would go really well with pumpkin cheesecake. Either a homemade one or one of the commercial ones they have right along side of the graham cracker and chocolate crusts. Heartland makes one. Heartlandbrands.com.
I make a crust for cheesecake using granola right from the Quaker Granola Cereal Bag with its small pieces of slivered almonds, etc. I do take out the raisens as I find they might take away the flavor of cheesecake you are making.
Loved the colors and ideas on top. Will use for other things. Thanks.

Hi Thistle,

Some springform pans will allow you to bake in a water bath, but I prefer to wrap the pan in foil just to make sure.

Enjoy! Zoë

Could I do it in a springform pan? Or would the water bath leak in? Looks gorgeous.

That is so beautiful! You are very creative. And not only gorgeous but sounds like a wonderful combination of flavors. Thanks for the inspiration.
