National Cheesecake Day
July 30th is National Cheesecake Day. Twenty years ago, cheesecake was not the most popular of desserts, but now, a week without cheesecake is like a week without sunshine. One restaurant, The Cheesecake Factory, takes pride in offering over 30 different types of cheesecake. These ultimate desserts include fresh strawberry, ultimate red velvet, chocolate, white chocolate-raspberry truffle, Godiva, banana cream, peanut butter cup and fudge ripple, white chocolate caramel and macadamia nuts, lemon raspberry cream cheese, chocolate-coconut cream, tiramisu, to name just a few. Wouldn’t it be great to have a taste test?
Activity for kids…
Actually, the taste test could be implemented in this activity. Have kids create a graph of the results and then have students work cooperatively in teams to “convince” another team during a Cheesecake Debate that their flavor of cheesecake is the best. If there is a Cheesecake Factory near you, request a donation of a sampling of a variety of cheesecakes for the taste test. There are other restaurants who serve cheesecake as well that may be willing to provide the samples. Share the results of the taste test with the donor.
