Birthday Smiles

The cheesecake was indeed a success.
His eyes lit up when he realized what it was, and he loved every bite. So did I...  We thought we would start by sharing a piece after our dinner, but who am I kidding?  We definitely went back for more.  Smiling and giggling at each other like kids eating their Halloween candy.  I'm looking forward to enjoying more of it over the next few days. Well, if he'll share.

The slices are beautiful with a hunk of toffee on each one, and I served it with more warm caramel sauce drizzled over.  It wasn't overly sweet like so many commercial varieties.  Just the right amount of rich and tangy sweetness that I crave in a cheesecake.
