I am SO excited today to announce my first ever BAKING TOGETHER IS BETTER CHALLENGE! We’re starting this series with CHEESECAKE because it’s one of my favorite desserts, AND because the thought of making one scared me for a long time. So today we’re all going to put our baking hats on together and get to CHEESECAKING!!
Cheesecake is SUCH a simple dessert to make…but it was always one of those desserts that I got nervous to make because there are a few tricks to baking it. I have made many over the years and have finally nailed down a totally foolproof recipe that is so creamy, so easy and SO delicious! I shared my Perfect Cheesecake Recipe a few days ago and today I am inviting all of YOU to BAKE TOGETHER with me!!!
I have teamed up with my friends over at Imperial Sugar to host this “challenge” over in my Baking & Cooking Group on Facebook. If you’re not a member of the group, I absolutely encourage you to join! It’s a great little group of bakers that love to share their recipes, photos, and tips with each other. I LOVE the positivity and encouraging vibes happening in that group, and I REALLY love seeing what you guys are baking up in your kitchen!
So the very first BAKING TOGETHER IS BETTER CHALLENGE will be all about following along my recipe for Perfect Cheesecake, sharing your pictures of the finished product! If this is your very first time making cheesecake, I am SO excited to hear about the process. OR if you’re already an expert cheesecaker, I’d love for you to follow along with my basic recipe and make it fancy! Add in salted caramel swirl, or some Oreo Cookies.
How to Join Along…
Post your pictures in The Cookies & Cups Baking & Cooking Group on Facebook AND/OR on Instagram and use the hashtag #BakingTogetherIsBetter, so we can see your finished product!
I am so SO excited to see your photos.
ANNNNNNND the very, very exciting part of using the #BakingTogetherIsBetter hashtag is once you post your picture and use the hashtag you are automatically entered to win a $100 Gift Card to William Sonoma AND an AWESOME gift basket from my friends over at Imperial Sugar!!

Hi Shelly! I loved this competition and love that I won! How do I go about claiming my prize? I’m excited to try the Imperial sugar items in my holiday baking if possible!
Hi Terri! I have been meaning to message you! If you could send me an email (cookiesandcups@live.com) with your full name and mailing address I will get that sent out to you!!
Thank you! All sent! I can’t wait for the next challenge!
For the IG post, does it need to be public? My profile is private – I’m happy to post my cheesecake but I’m not sure it’ll be seen!
ahh yes, it will need to be public on Instagram. You can post it in my facebook group as well! Make sure to use the hashtag there too so we can search facebook for them!
It won’t let me join the fb group?? Not sure why,,,
That’s so strange! What is it telling you? I do have to approve member requests, which I try to do multiple times a day..
OH! I am SO down with that! Here I go to join the fb group…
Love it!!
This sounds SO FUN!! I love the FB group!!
Can’t wait to see everyone’s cheesecake!
