Cakes, Day 2

Cheesecake! Mmmm Hmmm. From what I hear, our Chef gave us more room to work with than the AM Chef. They had to make theirs with a chocolate crust, we could do whatever we wanted. I wanted to make a strawberry cheesecake, but the school hadn't ordered any, so that was out of the question. So, I ended up making a raspberry walnut cheesecake. For the crust, I used graham and minced walnuts. Raspberry puree went into the mix. With so many people (34, when everyone is there) using the ovens, it took almost 1 1/2 to finish baking.
