kim loyack's cheesecake supreme
(1 RATING)
Years ago when I was a Pre-school teacher at the end of the yr we had Teacher Appreciation Week. Kim was my room mom and she did some amazing parties for the class. She was known for decorating her house with things that people saw as junk and make the most beautiful creations. She was a Alabama girl and her Southern hospitality shinned through all the time. she made this cake for me and I am telling you I have never tasted a better cheesecake. She decorated a table with a country table cloth, brought in a old decanter full of homemade lemonade. I have pictures somewhere. I will never forget Kim...she was a person you just wanted to hang out with.
