So tomorrow is Leo's birthday, last year I made a Root Beer cake from the book Baked. It was nice and interesting, very good with ice cream. For Valentine's Day made cupcakes...

This year I wanted to make a blueberry lemon cheesecake. Unfortunately, I do not own a springform pan. So what is one to do?

The nice thing about cakes is that they can always be made into bars...so that is what I attempt. Maybe I will post a picture, of my success or failure, depending on my mood!

So far the most part it tastes really good...

yes - I licked the bowl. Be damned eating properly, I get to indulge right?

BTW I do recommend the cookbook from the awesome people of Baked.

Because my friend got me into this...

I like to bake so why shouldn't I seek to extend my horizons...right? My friend Alysha does monthly baking challenges from a site called the Daring Bakers. Maybe I can learn something more, or at least be motivated to bake more than cookies and the occasional cake.

Hence the title Samantha's Adventures in Baking Land...homage to Lewis Carroll aside.
