About Me!

Hi, thanks for stopping by, my name is Anna Kosti and I am 18 years old. I live in Larnaca, Cyprus, with my family and I am still going to high school. I fell in love with baking since the age of 9! I started with simple recipes to making complicated and fascinating desserts. I am planning to join university next year, overseas, to become a professional pastry chef.

The cheesecake starts off with a crispy biscuit base and the it’s topped with a cheesy lemon filling. Make sure to give this Lemon Cheesecake recipe a try and I am sure you will ADORE it!
