[email protected]This cheesecake was a disaster. The crust was soggy and the filling was curdled. The crab pesto was the only thing that was good about it.

[email protected]I thought this cheesecake was just okay. The crust was a bit too crumbly and the filling was a bit too dense. The crab pesto was a nice touch, but it didn't save the cheesecake.
