" Marmalade Tiger" - a Cheesecake
"My friend Lauren and I came up with the idea for this while watching a show about baby tigers on animal planet. One of them had an orange coat and no black on him, and they said he was "marmalade". We decided that a marmalade tiger should be the name of a food. This is what we came up with. Its a home baked cheesecake with a layer of vanilla and a layer blended with orange marmalade. Yum!
(For a more striped look, swirling the two colors together might be fun to try too!)"

Just a 20-something gal who likes to invent food with her friends... some of them are more successful than others. The occasional success should be shared though. :)
