Blueberry Cheese Cake (pastry base)

I like this angle to present the first piece....









Water-bath cheesecake..... It really gives the cheesecake a better looks ^^
I like the pastry base very much!! The texture of the cheesecake is a bit firm compared to my previous bake. A little amount of unsalted butter added into the cheese batter may be the reason.
I wanted to do the swirl (something like the creamer on top of cappucino). Pynn forgot to listed down that the swirl need to be drawn before baking. After i took out the cheesecake from the oven, it's set and can't do the swirling anymore. I just create this (you think it is wheel or spider seb)?? or just anyhow draw??? I hope you don't find it ugly since it's my first attempt using plastic beg to do hand decorating >_< Receip from Pynn Lee
