Cake!!!

I never thought that I would ever be grateful to Kathy Lee Gifford...but they weren't making such a big deal about her birthday on TV today, I would have forgotten my mom's birthday! Luckily, there was a cake recipe that I've been meaning to try out, and it was pretty easy...Japanese Cheese Cake. It's a lot lighter, fluffier than regular cheese cake, using only one brick of cream cheese, instead of 3. I think next time I might add some vanilla and tone down the lemon though. I was a bit surprised when the recipe called for corn starch instead of flour. It was pretty good, and I didn't feel bad serving it to mom because there was only about 1/2 cup of sugar for the whole cake. The best part was how the cake managed to stay fluffy. It was my first time having to "fold" while baking. I was so worried that I wouldn't be gently enough and my cake would end up flat and hard, but it stayed very cloud like! However, I did lack things to decorate with, so I just dusted some almond powder on with the help of a doily.
