New York Cheesecake

My uncle requested a cheesecake for his birthday. Don't know what to bake and wanting to try out new things, and here is moi New York Cheesecake + choco ganache.

Without the coating

My error with the ganache, it looks oily.
But when it's 'accustomed' to the room temperature, it looks pweety

My 1st time with 'decorating'

I LOVE my cheese layer.
It's SMOOTH and well..it's SMOOTH and the taste is *hearts*
My crust, I'm not happy with it.
My choco, the taste itself is nice.
But it doesn't go well with my cake actually =\

Making this thing basically took me half a day. From 11am till around 6pm. It's not a continuous work, but it needs time to cool down and stuff. It's fun nonetheless. Alot peoples' birthday is on 1st Aug. Lucky not ALL of them are here now. I'll go pokai for sure and I certainly don't like to take pics at night.
