A couple of Sundays ago, we paid a surprise visit to my brother's with a birthday cheesecake for a member of the Gangster Gang. Can you guess whose birthday it was?
Could it be niece S's birthday? Or nephew #1's birthday? *winks*
Yeah, the shy birthday boy did not want to pose for photos...in fact the rest of the Gangster Gang were far more excited about blowing out the candles and cutting the cake than he was! *LOL*
It was the first time I made a topping for a cake so I was crossing my fingers that my mango gelatin layer stayed intact since I made up my own recipe [less sugar, fewer calories]. On hindsight, I should have gone with a no-bake cheesecake. Oh well, the verdict from The Gangster Gang was that it was "super delicious". :)

You are a great aunt....can you be mine? The cake looks yummy and the photo layout has captured memories even the birthday boy will appreciate when he is older. Thanks for sharing your family.

Love the look of your cheesecake, glad it stayed together for you [& them!]...this is a new fave LO! I think it's the sort of 'file' bit in the middle, with lots of journaling and all those little embellies ..... for me, it's the perfect story telling page!!!
