I have to say that it took me a while to start making cheesecake and for some reason I believed it was difficult to make but that is a fairytale now. You can surprise your audience even when you do it for the first time.

Tips.

1.It is very important that the ingredients stay at the room temperature for at least an hour especially the cream cheese and the butter.

2.Use a springform pan and preheat the oven before.

3.Do not overbeat the cake

4.Lossen the edge of the cheesecake with a thin knife to prevent the cracking.

5.Do not open the door of the oven while it is baking.

Ingredients for orange cheesecake:

1 1/2 cups honey wafer crumbs

1/4 cup butter or margarine melted

3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese softened

1 can sweetened condensed milk small can

1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

3 eggs

1 teaspoon grated orange zest

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Directions: Preheat oven to 300 F .Combine crumbs and butter and press firmly on bottom of 9” spring form pan. In a mixer bowl stirring the cheese until you see creamy look. Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue to stir until smooth. Add the eggs one by one, the orange juice and the zest. Mix very well. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Do not bake for more than 60 minutes even if the cake looks not ready otherwise the cheese will start cracking on the top. Turn oven off and let sit in the oven for another hour with the door closed. Cool and chill overnight or at least 3 hours before serving. Decorate with oranges caramelized or orange zest. Serve 12.

Own your own business
Did you ever think of having your own website ?

Maybe you coach hockey or soccer.Maybe you like to bake or do crafts and arts. Whatever that hobby is you can bring it to the web if you want to. It is simple.

I choose the hosting with host papa and they are great. The advantage is that you can install Wordpress very easy and can have a your site PRETTY FAST.

Now before you start there are couple of things you may want to consider.

You need some basic computer knowledge.

The theme of your website needs to be appealing to you.Choose something that you love doing to keep the spark and the interst over the years.

Provide valuable content that will be useful to other people.

Lase but not least it is important to have fun with it.
When I started this website I had no idea how it will grow and how I will make it to the search engines but then as the time passed by it unfolded pretty nice.

Host papa is very reliable and competitive in price.If you will compare it with other sites you will find that even though they may be cheaper thay charge addional prices for the Word Press.

If you have additional questions you can email me at support@easy-baking.net and I could guide you or answer some of your questions.

Christmas is just around the corner.Welcome to the season of chilly wintery winds, unless of course you are in one of those deliciously mild climate areas that we like to go to for winter vacations. It is a time of reflection and looking back at the year that passed.I have to say that I had a very good year so far. I counted my blessings and found them many…
It is so nice to have a little more time to spend with family and good friends.Maybe that is why we have Christmas cards and letters as a more practical alternative.
