Love cheesecakes!!!!

I usually decorate with a border of a whipped cream, flavored to match the cake, piped on with a rosette tip. If I'm making my Cappuccino cheesecake, I'll also add some chocolate shavings. If I'm making my Dreamsicle Cheesecake, I pipe a border and then add those dreamsicle candies! And so on!! If I need to add a message, I either pipe it on as usual or use a birthday pick or make up my own little sign and laminate it and stick it in the middle. You could also cover it with a ganache...yum! You really do have a lot of choices. I've heard where some people just use buttercream and decorate just as they would a regular cake, but I've never tried that so I can't give you any advice there! Hope this helps. Happy baking, Missey
