Cake, Tarta, Pastel, Gateaux, The Good Stuff

So it's not very often a day goes by without cheesecake or white chocolate gracing my thoughts at some point. Hence one of my favourite pastimes is concocting some delicacy incorporating one or both of the above forms, as displayed below:

White chocolate, rasberry and marshmallow cheesecake on a chocolate hobnob base, 

with a wall of Cadbury's honeycomb fingers and decorated with Lindt sea salt &caramel dark chocolate

Custard, caramel and grated dark chocolate cheesecake on a chocolate hobnob base,

decorated with Cadbury's caramel buttons

 

White chocolate millionare's shortbread

Cookies and cream lollipops with a white chocolate coating and dusting of grated milk chocolate,

as adapted from Lorraine Pascale's recipe
