May 4, 2018 at 8:45 amHey just wondering how long is this good for in the fridge? Thank you so much
Laureen King says
May 4, 2018 at 4:40 pmHi Chrystal I would say sauce should keep Ok in the fridge for a week, although mine has never lasted that long. It also freezes very well.

January 10, 2019 at 7:45 amI am looking at the Cheesecake recipe and have a question, in step 11 it says remove from water bath and remove foil, but never says when or where to put foil, first time baking Cheesecake so don’t want to mess up. Is the foil covering while baking?
Laureen King says
January 10, 2019 at 6:37 pmThe foil is wrapped around the outside of the springform pan. Do this prior to pouring batter in the pan.
