Lychee Lime Cheesecake



one of the yummiest cakes i have ever made....but mostly cos it's made in mind for a very special person.

My supervisor for the last component of my course.

When i first met her, this is how i described her to my friends: " She seems like the sort of person who has had a very loving and happy childhood...."

and after spending five weeks with her, i can also safely say she is truly one of the nicest persons i have ever met!!!
