Like Wendy, I was much drawn to the dual tone of this little cuppies. I made two portions of this - first portion wasn't presentable enough because of my poor estimation. I have too much bottom layer in the cups so much so I dont have space for the cheesecake layer.
So I decided to try a second batch. I used up too much of the blueberries in the first attempt hence not enough blueberries to decorate the top.
Like what Wendy has shared, it's very hard not to love this cake....
