Personal Notes:
The biggest birthday treat every year was getting to choose the kind of dessert I wanted my mom to make. The only dessert I can ever remember choosing, year after year, was "Cream Cheese Pie" - a denser (and easier to make) version of the classic cheesecake. It is absolutely YUMMY and very rich!!
