Birthday Morning Tea Shout at Work

Work has an unwritten rule where if it's your birthday, you bring something in for everyone. I know, dumb rule! It's my birthday so I should be lavished with endless cupcakes and lavish trinkets... Anyhoo, I decided to make Oreo cheesecake and wow everyone with my amazing baking skills.

I feel like I've put on weight just from looking at the ingredients: The various apparatus needed for making the cheesecakes:

Luscious looking oreos before i ...

... crushed them into smithereens..

Mmmmm mixed with butter and smooshed down to make the base of the cheesecake.

4 pots of cream cheese, 1 pot of sour cream plus castor sugar equal instant happiness for my tummy...

Add in 4 eggs because misery (or fattiness in this case) loves company..

Chopped up oreos, ready to be mixed into the cream cheese mix.

Mmmmm.... imagine licking five used spoons of this. I felt ick after a while.

Sprinkle more chopped up oreos on top and they are ready for the oven.

Ta daaaaaa..... the finished product!

Add in some chips and dip and lollies and you've got yourself one heck of a morning tea...
