Happy 40ish Birthday Ed!

Today is Ed's birthday!  He went out of town for work on Tuesday and won't be back until Saturday night - so I had to take the traditional cheesecakes and treats to work on Monday.  I ended up making 4 cheesecakes, 4 dozen fancy toffee brownies, and about 10 dozen butterscotch oatmeal cookies.  I'm not sure why I always make cheesecakes, they STRESS me out since it is difficult to tell if they are done or not until you cut into them.  But I must say, that I was super happy with how all of them turned out!

We are sad you aren't home to celebrate today (or have a big party tomorrow night) but we will do a little something on Sunday - and maybe I will even have some sushi for you when you get home Saturday night (ha ha - I am writing like he reads this).  
Happy Birthday Ed!  LOVE you!

Triple Chocolate Cheesecake with a ganache topping

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake 


Turtle Cheesecake (with caramel and pecans)
This one went the fastest - too bad it didn't look this pretty once I took the sides of the springform pan off.

See - not so pretty!  The caramel all slide off!  


Carrot Cake Cheesecake
This was a layer of carrot cake, cream cheese frosting, cheesecake, more cream cheese frosting, another layer of carrot cake and more cream cheese frosting.  This was a new one but I think people liked it!

Here it is cut into.

Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies
I had to make these since these are Ed's new favorite cookie!



Fancy Toffee Brownies
I always make these and they are always a huge hit!


 Here's all the goodies together.  It is still  killing me that the caramel slide off that cheesecake looks horrible!

I am still working on recipes from Thanksgiving but I will add these to the list as well!
