Strawberry Cheesecake in a Jar

It was my birthday last Sunday, my boys wanted to bake me a cake last Friday as we are hardly at home on weekends. I decided on a no bake strawberry cheesecake, something really easy, so they can manage. I'm sharing the recipe as some of you have requested for it, you can scroll down to the end of this post for it.


This was the cake they made, they did almost all the work. I only helped them to prepare the strawberry sauce.


They kept eating the digestive biscuits as they were grinding them. -_-


They did make a mess filling in the jar, so I had to clean up the jars before they could top up the strawberry sauce.


However, after they were done, they were shocked to learn that this was my birthday cake. They said this does not look like a birthday cake at all, they wanted to bake a cake filled with whipped cream and strawberry. -_-


They ended up baking another cake that night. :P


I did not have any strawberries left, so they filled the cake with peaches instead. The bunting was done by me, I added it on the following day. :)


My birthday cards and flowers from my boys. They drew identical cards this year, lol.


Yay, they bought me more flowers this year. :)
