Layers Cheesecake

I wanna to bake a cheesecake to celebrate this weekend. Saturday 080510 is our 9th anniversary, while Sunday 090510 is mother's day.

All the ingredients are just readily sitting in the refrigerator without prior notice. Is it the hints for my succeed? Actually, this recipe is modify by the Blueberry Cheese Cake (pastry base). Besides the flavour, the other difference is the quantity of eggs. This recipe i added one more eggs compared to the previous. The texture is more silky, while the blueberry cheese cake is more firm. Pick whichever you like to adjust :)

I was excited when i unmould it.... it's just too beautiful!!! I hold the cake to let everyone in the family to take a look, to show off. Haha!!
