Cheesecake
Cheesecake is a dessert of soft cheese on a biscuit or pastry base, either baked or set without heat.
What it means for a café
A café item that behaves like a restaurant dessert: high ticket, slice-controlled, and dependent on refrigerated display. It is the clearest example of an item whose sales are set by whether it is visible rather than whether it is listed.
This page describes cheesecake in general. It is not a description of any particular chain’s recipe, and the photograph is not of any named company’s product.
