Cheesecake.com Review and Giveaway


Anyone out there like cheesecake?  If so, I have a delicious treat for you today!  Cheesecake is a very popular dessert around the world, but it is often very difficult to find a bakery or restaurant that serves the gourmet quality you desire.  Cheesecake.com offers you a solution.  They offer a wide variety of gourmet cheesecake flavors.  From original, berry, and chocolate, to pumpkin, turtle, and brownie, you are bound to find the perfect cheesecake for you.  By shopping online, you can not only have a fresh cheesecake delivered for yourself, but you also have the option to send it to someone you care about as a special treat for any occasion. Your cheesecake will arrive in an insulated cooler (with dry ice) and a very sturdy box to prevent any squishing.


This past weekend, the generous people from Cheesecake.com sent us a 3 lb. Gourmet Cheesecake Sampler to review for my mom's birthday.  The Gourmet Sampler, retailed at $42.95, "comes with three slices of four different Gourmet Cheesecake Flavors made with Philadelphia® Cream Cheese. Great for Entertaining, As a gift, Event or send cheesecakes as personal treat for yourself. All are made with our Honey Graham Pecan Crust".  The individual slices were large enough that we were able to cut them in half so everyone could try a bit of each.  The first slices to disappear were the Very Strawberry ones.  That was by far my favorite and from the way my family devoured the other pieces, I'm guessing it was their favorite too.  Our second favorite was a toss up between the Original and the Turtle.  I usually love Turtle anything, and this cheesecake was no exception.  The last flavor was Mocha Chocolate.  No one in my family likes coffee flavored desserts, but my neighbors loved them and finished them off quickly.

Now I know you can't wait to get your hands on one of these mouth-watering cheesecakes.  Thanks to the generous people from Cheesecake.com, one of you lucky readers is going to have a 3lb. Gourmet Sampler delivered straight to your door.
