As I do for almost everything I make on whim, I try to use up what I've got in the kitchen or fridge. I had a pint of unopened heavy whipping cream on hand so it was perfect for the filling in this cake. It is based off of Martha's Old Fashioned Berry Layer Cake from her Baking Handbook. It is the one featured on the cover. I decided to make a mini version and halved her recipe, which seemed to work out perfectly. I used 6 inch rounds. Her cake is four layers, but mine is just two. Instead of berries I used a combination of peaches and strawberries.

2009 Cheesecake Challenge Results
I am still amazed at how creative my friends are. This year's cheesecakes were truly spectacular and in combination with the great people and perfect weather, the day was absolutely fantastic. So much fun.
