“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.

White Layer Cake with a Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake center layer and a Raspberry Cream Frosting White Layer Cake with a Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake center layer and a Raspberry Cream Frosting

This is a combination layer cake with a moist tender crumb white cake with a creamy raspberry swirl cheesecake middle layer. It's finished off with a raspberry cream frosting for a really special cake. You must plan ahead though as the cheesecake layer is baked and frozen before the cake is made. The cheesecake can be done a few days in advance so it's waiting in the freezer for when your ready to make the cake.
