Cake That! Technical Challenge – Decadent Raspberry & Chocolate Cheesecake
So this is the second cake I’ve baked this week. Both I’ve been incredibly proud of, one was a 7 layer rainbow cake with chocolate icing for my nephew’s third birthday, it was a huge success however that’s not the cake I’m sharing today. Today’s cake is a cheesecake, my favourite dessert. Last month I was invited to take part in Best British Bloggers & Euphorium Bakery’s Cake That! A baking competition centered around the structure of one of my favourite tv shows The Great British Bake Off.

Recipe – Lemon Yoghurt Cake with Fresh Raspberries and Lemon Laced Cream
As soon as I heard from Megan that two of our fellow blogging ladies, Laura & Shannon had proposed the idea of The Great Blogger Bake Off. Being such a huge fan of The Great British Bake Off, and of course, baking.. I had to join in! The Great Blogger Bake Off is in no way a competition, during the week running up to the episode date we all bake something that fits in with the shows theme.. this week it is cake so we all bake cakes. Then we share our creations on the Facebook page, Instagram & Twitter using the #TheGreatBloggerBakeOff tag. So this afternoon (as I got…
