Keep it real, keep it smooth

I bought a cheesecake today in the shop by work, I'll be honest I was probably attracted by the orange reduced price sticker, didn't really look at the box other than seeing the word cheesecake and some sort of Xmas festive flavour, I quickly grabbed it before someone else beat me to the bargain. It really didn't matter about what type it was as I've never found a cheesecake that I didn't love. Suddenly studying for a Masters and running a blog after being in work all day was now going to be a bit more fun eating cheesecake.

Imagine my horror to find it had all kinds of stuff in it, cherries, berries, apricots, bits of orange and god knows what else, who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to do that. Now I'm fine with a bit of creativity and innovation and by all means decorate the top of it with as much fruit as you want or put it on the side of your plate, have it with ice-cream, cover it in syrup, fruit sauce, chocolate buttons, custard or whatever you want, you can make it any bizarre flavour you want, even experiment with the biscuit base. But when it comes to the most important bit, the actual cake, keep it smooth, creamy, unblemished, that's what any right minded person wants, expects and demands, not all the shenanigans that was going on in the one I got.

Absolutely scandalous idea, that trust I had with any cheesecake has gone, never again, they should leave the fruit concoctions to Mr Kipling. Keep it smooth, keep it real, scandalous, no wonder it was reduced, heads should roll at the Co-op in Whiston.
