Blueberry and Raspberry Cheesecake

昨天是老公的生日，祝老公生日快了！之前问他要什么生日蛋糕，他望着我一脸茫然，那么我就开始 建议：

黑森林？“不要，不喜欢蛋糕里面有酒精的味道”

巧克力蛋糕？”不要，好像很不是很想吃巧克力蛋糕”

Gelato蛋糕？ “不要，我咳嗽还没好，不要吃冰淇淋”

啊。。不然George（master chef）的carrot cake可以吗？“不要，carrot cake好像是下午茶的蛋糕，不像生日蛋糕“

那么那个紫色的Blueberry Cheesecake 你讲过很好吃的，可以了吧？”哦，那个很好，我喜欢！就那个吧“

我的天啊，这个男人怎么这样难服侍啊！要为他准备蛋糕还要这么挑剔，这个不要，那个不好。但是我家婆那天告诉我，要给人做生日蛋糕一定要做那个人喜欢的，不然会带给他bad luck的，所以我就不敢乱做，先要问好好来才做。那里知道这个问题一发，原来后果还真的很麻烦一下，哈哈！

这次改了一下gelatin的份量，加多了一些，因为感觉上一个蛋糕有一点软，我比较喜欢凝固得比较硬挺得cheesecake。除了口感比较好，在切蛋糕时，蛋糕也能保持挺直的形状，好看得多了！蛋糕若是太软，切出来的蛋糕，软软粘粘的，外观就要大打折扣了。我觉得蓝莓的味道比较”flat“，我喜欢覆盆子的酸甜味，所以这个蛋糕我也加入一杯覆盆子来提升蛋糕的清新味。

很高兴家人都很喜欢这个蛋糕，就连不爱cheesecake的姑姑都说好，最后她还打包了一片回家呢！我也觉得这个蛋糕很好吃，喜欢cheesecake的朋友，我在这里给你们推荐一下这个食谱咯！
