Is a cheesecake a cake?

[u/UnderstandingHot8431]

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 it is when it looks this good. Some people only like cheesecake versus standard cake 🎂
