AWESOMELY AMERICAN CHEESECAKES TO LIBERATE YOUR TASTEBUDS
MY STORY...
Once upon a time, while working as an aircraft painter, we had a pot luck at work. I decided to bake a cheesecake.
After that, I was only welcomed at the homes of friends and family if I brought a cheesecake, but I did get a hero's welcome every time! Always New York style, baked cheesecakes but different flavours every time. One day I decided to hang up my paintbrush and buy some extra cake pans....
I moved to York in 2014 from West Palm Beach, Florida. My wife grew up in Yorkshire and I loved it when I first visited, so much we decided to live here. In less than a year we had packed everything up, and were moving here, dogs and all! I was born in New York so living in ‘Olde’ York seems fitting!
Baking is in my blood, my grandfather owned his own bakery, Sherry's, on 110th and Broadway in New York in the 1960s and 1970s, so it might not be a surprise to my grandmother that this is what I love to do. I can always remember him bringing home baker’s boxes at the end of each day!
All my cheesecakes are baked - in my opinion the only way to make a cheesecake!

REVIEWS
cadbury’s twirl Gluten free cheesecake
Couldn’t recommend these enough. I had one for my birthday last week, and it was absolutely incredible! I love that you can choose what kind of cheesecake you want (I had Twirl), and Matt made it completely gluten free for me (I’m Coeliac) - my friends and family couldn’t even tell. The best birthday cake ever and I’ll definitely be getting another one! 😍

MY CHEESECAKES
I am originally from New York, so I specialise in New York style baked cheesecake in a wide variety of flavours. I can make many different sizes - from mini bitesize cheesecakes (about the size of a 50p) all the way up to 9” cheesecakes.
I have lots of flavours & sizes listed in my online shop - and you can expect to see most in my shop!
I also love to make new flavours on request, and can make many of these flavours gluten free, lactose free or vegan - please email me at the email below for more information.
If you can't find a flavour which tickles your fancy please email feedmenow@cheesecakeguy.co.uk to invent your own!
Allergen Information -
Some of the products I make and sell contain wheat, gluten, barley, rye, oats, eggs, peanuts, soya, milk, nuts, mustard, sesame, celery, spelt or lupin. I therefore cannot guarantee that our products are free from allergens.
WEDDINGS, BIRTHDAYS & OTHER SPECIAL EVENTS
When traditional wedding cake isn't what you are going for, why not try a baked cheesecake! I can do several flavours and arrangements for either or other events. Please email to feedmenow@cheesecakeguy.co.uk for samples and to discuss what will best suit your needs.
Three different sizes and five different flavours - vanilla, salted caramel, strawberry, maple bacon, and peanut butter cup.
