One of my best friends is sleeping on my couch after escaping her abusive ex. I wanted to make her 30th birthday special because it's been such a rough year for her. She said her grandma used to make a cherry cheesecake so I attempted to recreate it. Upon having the first bite, she burst into tears because it tasted exactly how her grandma used to make.
The power of baking 🥰

    Bless your for taking her in & caring for her. You’re reminding her what kind of wonderful, happy life she can have without that creep.

    This brought tears to my eyes too. I just turned 30 and it hurts to hear that someone my age is struggling so much. Thank goodness for your baking skills and your kindness (so she didn’t have to fake liking it hehe). She’ll never forget it. Looks delicious!

  14. That’s a lovely cheesecake and you’re a lovely friend! I’m glad she has you in her life
