This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling if you prefer a less sweet cheesecake.

This cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. The flavor was bland and the texture was too dense.

This cheesecake was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The crust was also a bit dry, but overall it was a good cheesecake.
