How to Decorate Cheesecake

When you decide to include a truly gourmet cheesecake as your dessert, be certain its look on the plate is as elegant as the dessert. A meal, especially at the end, should appeal to the visual sense as well. These are some suggestions, but, of course, you may add your own individual touches.

New York Cheesecake is undoubtedly the favorite of all the cheesecake varieties. Maybe it is the most popular of all dessert types. It is certainly the most adaptable to a wide range of flavor additions. I like to serve it among fresh raspberries for a color contrast. The berries sweet but slightly tart flavor offer a counterpoint to the richness of the cheesecake.

Strawberry Cheesecake: Place a litttle whipped cream atop the cake. In the center of the cream, place the largest, reddest strawberry you can find. Be sure to let the leaves remain on the berry.

Turtle Cheesecake is already a smyphony of colors, textures and tastes. Instead of seeking a counterpoint, which might disturb the balance, drip a semicircle of chocolate syrup around one side of the plate and semicircle of caramel around the other side.

Pumpkin Cheesecake, a holiday time favorite, is even creamier than the more traditional pumpkin pie. Cut a festive hole in some paper–holiday tree shaped or a star. Center the paper over the top of the slice. In the hole you’ve cut in the paper, gently sprinkle cinnamon.

Sugar Free Cheesecakes–no sugar added: No matter what the flavor of the cheesecake, a mint sprig on top of the widest part of the cake, will dress it up wonderfully without adding any additional, unwanted sugar.

The presentation is impacted not just by what’s on the plate but additionally by the nature of the platter, itself. Certainly, the small plates that are part of your china set will do the job. But the expanded storage space in modern pantries allow many hosts and hostesses to keep specialty plates. People have individual salt servers and soup crocks, as opposed to the typical bowls. Why not get special serving pieces that you use only for the special dessert celebrations?

There are plenty of alternatives ranging from a matched set of plain plates to purposely mismatched art noveau that can be enjoyable to both locate and collect. Another option to think about is to present your dessert on planks made of a well grained hardwood. Wood can actually be sanitized very well, although, if that worries you, simply place a doily under the dessert itself for simpler cleaning. A friend of mine collected old license plates, sanitized them, and sometimes serves either appetizers or dessert on the well travelled plates. It brings an unusual and festive ambience to any occasion!

Cheesecakes are a special–and somewhat pricey–ending to an exceptional meal or a casual barbeque. Take a little your planning time to accentuate the rich taste of this marvelous dessert with your signature touches.
