I’m making this right now for my cousins birthday! My cheesecake looks just like the one in this video. Hope my cakes turn out correctly. I made a double batch of frosting and divided it to halves. Then I made a mistake by adding 3/4 cup instead of 1/4 cup of dark cocoa powder into one of the halves. I kept mixing it but it seemed so fudge-like 😂. I will just make another single batch of vanilla cream cheese frosting and store any left over for something else.

I made this cake and aside from not having sufficient frosting (I probably used too much for the crumb coat) to do the rosettes on top, the cake looked lovely.
