This is a hard review to write, because I've loved these cheesecakes for a long time. And the woman who makes them is wonderful.
I used to order a piece of her cheesecake every time I ate it Fast Eddy's in Belleville. Oh my gosh, there are no words for how delicious it wass. When she decided to open her own place, my friends and I were absolutely elated.
The first purchase I made was for my husband and I. I popped in when I was shopping out that way at Kimmy's Cucina and grabbed a few cheesecake cupcakes. I brought them home and after dinner we were excited to do some taste testing. We were sadly disappointed at how rubbery the tops of the cupcakes were.
I knew that her cheesecake that I had was delicious and I thought well maybe they had sat in the case too long. And because I had great hopes, I bought more for a friends birthday. Same exact thing. Everybody at the party said that they had a weird rubbery texture. And the flavor wasn't even that great, it tasted dull.
I've not had to buy a whole cheesecake. A lot of people are not gonna stop by and buy a whole cheesecake. So I can't speak for one cakes are.
That's the beauty of the cheesecake cupcakes , easy, small a nice grab for get together, etc.
I haven't been back since.
I have another friend who's a huge fan of Jackie's cheesecakes and she has had the same issue.
I don't know if they sit in the case too long, or if they're frozen and thawed, I have no idea. But something isn't right and it's a real shame because this place is owned by a person who makes the best damn cheesecakes I've ever had.
I hope the issue can be fixed. I hope that I get a response to this review and they say that they recognize there's been an issue and it's been fixed because I'm really pulling for her. read more
