Happy 4th of July! I did not photograph the process of making the Fourth of July Cheesecake. Our family and the Photographer's family celebrated the day together so there was little time to bake and photograph the entire process. The Photographer smoked brisket and pork shoulder which was absolutely delicious. The cheesecake was incredible too. The blueberries, frosting, cheesecake and red velvet cake were the perfect combination. I added 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to give the cake a more chocolate flavor which made the cake considerably darker in appearance. Since I was in a hurry, I just haphazardly frosted the cheesecake and tossed the blueberries on quickly.
There wasn't time to let the cheesecake chill before serving. Even though the cheesecake turned out amazingly well, it would have been even better if it were chilled.
The Photographer's son "Cowboy" made mud pies with a side of fry sauce for everyone at the party. He told the Photographer to take a picture of his mud pie and post it on the blog. So here it is Cowboy!
