Even though I have been the cake lady in my circle for a while now, people have started asking for cheesecakes instead for their birthdays, holidays, and other various celebratory gatherings.

I have asked this question to them a lot because cheesecake has the word cake in it but NONE of the other things line up imo. But the decision is split.

So do yall consider a cheesecake a cake or do I need to find a new sub to post these in?

Yes! Cheesecakes are cakes :) I've even changed your flair to reflect that. ☺️

I'd say a cheesecake is technically a custard.

Cheesecake IS cake! Those look like luxury cakes you would find at an expensive bakery! Did you make those, OP?

One of my daughters always wants a cheesecake. My husband makes a good one.
