I always make way too much food. My daughter's birthday party is this Saturday and I've just spent the past hour and a half preparing chocolate cheesecake from scratch for the first time while trying to keep my daughter happy. The last part was difficult because the mixer scares her, but she hangs around anyway for the semi-sweet chocolate morsels. Anyway, I didn't know what a spring form pan was, so when I went looking for one at the store I just got a 10" pie pan. Apparently that is about half the size of what I needed so now I'm going to end up with two chocolate cheesecakes instead of one (as soon as I run out to buy a second pie pan this afternoon). I need to serve cake for 24 adults and children, so I guess it isn't bad to have extra, but I had planned to bake a spiced carrot cake with cream cheese icing tomorrow for the second cake. We are going to wind up with an obscene amount of leftovers. :areyoucra
