Some questions to get to know her
Photobucket
Where are you from:
I'm from London, UK, I live with my man and cat, one prefers the mess my crafting makes more than the other!!!

How did you get started with your cupcake craft:
I started knitting when my friend asked me to knit some cakes as promotional items for her business (www.timefortease.co.uk); they were such a hit with so many people asking for ckes that I started a little industry! My objective was in 2009, to raise enough money to pay for a fabulous 40th birthday party in December. It'd be a great year and the result was a party with lots of real cakes and champagne.

Your favorite part of your business:
The most enjoyable aspect of my craft is when I get returning customers, or when someone writes telling me how much they love their cake!

Any words of advice:
My advice? If you don't enjoy then don't do it! Crafting is about fun for me, so it's important to really find the whole project relaxing, enjoyable and fun!

In honor of valentines I feel the need to share the recipe I will be making my hunny.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

Photobucket

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together cookie crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
  2. In a saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to boil, and continue boiling 5 minutes, or until sauce is thick. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds.
  3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt white chocolate chips with half-and-half, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate. Pour half of batter over crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining cheesecake batter into pan, and again spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over the top. Swirl batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect.
  5. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce.

When I'm with you,
eternity is a step away,
my love continues to grow,
with each passing day.

This treasure of love,
I cherish within my soul,
how much I love you...
you'll never really know.

You bring a joy to my heart,
I've never felt before,
with each touch of your hand,
I love you more and more.

Whenever we say goodbye,
whenever we part,
know I hold you dearly,
deep inside my heart.

So these seven words,
I pray you hold true,
"Forever And Always,
I Will Love You."
