Here are some of my ace-est presents -
I also got some £60/€67,85/¥7,565.03/$98.44 and some vouchers yay.
Oh but what really really really really really made my day was when this happened:
I went bowling with the family on that day (26th August) and I came 2nd out of 4th lol.
Apparently I have the technique of a professional I just don't know where to stand. Dad refused to tell me where to stand in case I beat him. Which I didn't. But I wanted to.
Then I went to Damons and ate loads and got a free chocolate cake. Which nobody ate.
Just about sums up my birthday!
Then the day after, I made a cheesecake.
Started out like this:
Then I did this:
And I finished with this:
Nom it is well nice. #justsaying.
(I have a habit of hashtagging things when I'm not on twitter btw)
The recipe is here:
Lemon cheesecake
Base:
10 digestive biscuits (I used about 14 because my family like the biscuity bit)
75g butter, melted
1 tbsp clear honey
For the filling:
700g mascarpone cheese
2 lemons, juice and zest
300g caster sugar
4 tbsp icing sugar
Method
- brush the bottom of a 9inch cake tin with some of the melted butter and place a round of greaseproof paper in the base. (I didn't use the greaseproof paper and it turned out fine though)
- crush the biscuits and tip them into a bowl, add the melted butter and honey and stir until well combined
- tip the mixture into the bottom of the cake tin. using the back of a spoon, gently push the crumbs from the centre outward, until smooth and level. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins. (the longer you leave it the possible btw)
- mix the cheese, lemon juice and zest and caster sugar together in a bowl until well combined. (step 'sieto' is after you mix it once and step 'ocho' is what it should look like at the end'
- spoon the mixture into the tin on top of the base and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. (I left it overnight actually)
