Looks can be deceiving...

When starting this blog, I vowed to myself that I would post both the good and the bad experiences that occur in my world of food/drink.  I have been baking my whole life and while I am thankful that most of my recipes turn out...it isn't always the case.  This post will show that looks can be deceiving.  I attempted to make from scratch cheesecake last week.  I've used this recipe numerous times with no issue but this time, I missed a very important detail....bring the cream cheese to room temperature.  The taste was perfect but the consistency was a bit chunky, which was very disappointing but it shows the importance of thoroughly following baking instructions.  There is a difference between cooking and baking and the difference is how accurate you have to pay attention to the recipe.  Baking is an exact science, not to be altered.  I will make this recipe again, very soon and I am hopeful that it will be successful this time.  If successful on my next attempt, I will post the recipe.
