Happy Birthday Mike!

Tomorrow is Mike's birthday so I made a cake for him tonight.

Mike's mom made him a cake this weekend so he wanted me to make him a non-traditional cake.  He wanted a Sopapilla Cheesecake.

I'm sure we'll do something fun tomorrow after work and then we'll eat cake!

Happy Birthday Mike!  I hope you have a great day.

This is one of the few cheesecake sopapilla recipes that uses three packages of cream cheese, but it is just so so yummy.  This is the first recipe that I tried and it's the only recipe I have tried.
