Peppermint Lover?

This was Mark's birthday cake. Yep, Mark is 17 TODAY! The cheesecake turned out very yummy. Even our waitresses wanted some - so we shared! Here is the recipe:
White Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake

12 oz. Oreos
3 TBSP butter, melted

3 (8 oz EACH) cream cheese
3 eggs
4 oz. white baking chocolate
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup crushed candy cane

Directions:
Crush oreos in food processor. Add melted butter, stir then pat on bottom of 10 - inch springform pan. Bake crust for 10 minutes. Cool.

Mix cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar until just blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each. Melt white chocolate and stir into cream cheese mixture. Gently fold crushed candy cane into cream cheese mixture and pour over crust. Bake 45 - 50 minutes at 350 until center is almost set. Completely cool then refrigerate at least 4 hours. When ready to serve, spread a thin layer of whipped topping on top of cheesecake and sprinkle with more crushed candy canes.

Next time I make this I am going to make some white chocolate icing and pipe a design along the top edge instead of the whipped topping. That will be rich tasting! I just think it will be better than the cool whip!

Tomorrow I plan to do a little more baking and I will share the recipes and how they turn out!

Merry Christmas!!

Sister's Birthday Gift

I just had to do Mark's idea - and he helped me - to make a gift for Nancy for her birthday. I had seen this little poem about growing up with a sister and thought it was perfect. So we went to several thrift stores looking for the perfect sized canvas picture and after only two stops - found it! This is the canvas with the letters I stuck on it and I began there in the bottom corner to paint it a dark brown. The canvas is a golden with thin trees and some words in cursive in a light brown. As you see, I was using a paint brush, but I changed to a small roller. It worked much much better. Completely painted the top and the sides of the canvas a brown color. Then I let it dry - probably about 30 minutes. Then pealed off the letters! Here is the finished product: And it's true. I did tell on her - it was for her own good. :)
