Why I want to be mentor: Because I love to share the secrets of baking with other who love to bake.
Lesson Learned: Always let the cream cheese come to room temperature. Always scrape the sides of the bowl after adding each egg. Always bake in a water bath, even if the recipe does not direct you to do so.
Why I want to be mentor: I\'d like to help someone who needs help, as I did, when cheesecake became a priority for me.
Lesson Learned: Never pick up a springform pan without having one hand supporting the pan bottom.. results can be disatrous otherwise.
Tip: Lining your springform with foil prior to baking your cake makes it possible to actually give a cake without worrying about the bottom of your pan never coming back to you.
Why I want to be mentor: A lot of people are intimidated by cheesecakes and they are not hard at all.
Lesson Learned: Water bath is essential to keep cheesecakes moist. You don't need a ton of ingredients. Always start with the basics then add flavoring.
