OK, I know this is random but dessert sleuths,
I need your help!!
I’ve been trying to track down this exact raspberry cheesecake since 2019 with no luck. It was given to me on my birthday in January 2019 by my old team when I worked at the ad agency in Playa Vista, Los Angeles.
Unfortunately, I’m no longer in touch with most ppl from that team, and those that I have asked, have no idea lol
Here’s what I know:
• It was delivered to the office as a birthday surprise.
• The texture was incredibly creamy, not overly dense, and had a light graham cracker crust.
• The top had a glossy raspberry glaze with what looked like fresh raspberries embedded.
• It wasn’t overly sweet, more balanced and tangy.
• It came in a classic cake box, nothing branded that I can remember.
I’ve searched bakeries all over Los Angeles, and still haven’t found an exact match. I’ve reverse image searched and asked locals, and no one has recognized it yet.
If you recognize this cake or know a bakery in L.A. (or anywhere!) that makes something similar, please let me know. I’ve been craving it for years. 😩
Attaching the photo for reference. Thanks in advance 🙏
