1. Project Description​: Describe your project and its goal(s). Be as specific and concrete as you can.
First I need to find a basic recipe and then i need to adjust measurements which requires math to
make the perfect amount. Then I would need to make the cheesecake batter and curst, the crust will
needs its own recipe to so that will require more of my time and math skills. After making the batter I
need to let the batter rest for 24 hours for the flavours to set in and make sure I mixed all the
ingredients together perfectly to create a light but powerful taste in your mouth, but after I can
properly make the batter I need my mentors advise on how I can take it to the next level, my plating
of the cheesecake will be elegant and pleasant. This is where the challenge is going to occur due to
me not knowing much about desserts and making them I need to make sure my batter rest for 48
hours so it can stand as a single piece of cheesecake that I can present to my board.
