All cheesecakes
are NOT created equal and Jana "j. rae" Morris's white chocolate
cheesecake offers the unmistakable proof. Jana, the former owner of the
popular children's clothing shop MUDPUPPY has been baking since she was
a girl of twelve living in Kansas. j. rae's signature cheesecake recipe
is the result of Jana's quest to concoct the best tasting cheesecake.
Period. With no formal culinary training, Jana began experimenting in
her own kitchen and after more than 200 attempts she discovered
cheesecake nirvana. Additional field research took our intrepid baker to
New York and L.A. to compare top shelf bakery cheesecakes and confirming
that Jana's recipe was clearly a winner.
The new dessert bakery recently opened in the Foch Street Showrooms on
the eastside of the Cultural District between Seventh Street and
Lancaster Avenue. Along with a variety of cheesecakes, j. rae's offers
delicious cupcakes and distinctive cookies, all baked fresh from scratch
each day (the aroma is intoxicating) and tastefully displayed in the
front of the bakery. Yum!
