Could such intense and widespread insanity be an omen for the upcoming apocalypse? :blink:

...and order in :D

OK, i did order the ARC, decided i might as well try it since i pretty much like every flavor i've ever tried from Deej :)

It's not very raspberry-ish, don't worry. I did it the first time because I once got Apricot Cheesecake from somewhere else (before there was a deejstuff) and it was sooooo sweet. Apricots are a fairly lush fruit to begin with and this was bordering on apricot jam spread on cheesecake. I added some raspberry juice I had and, somehow, it cut the sweetness and the two flavors work together.

So, when I decided to try deej's Apricot Cheesecake, before I learned that none of his fruit flavors taste like they were made by Smuckers, I asked him to throw in some raspberry. It was delicious so I repeated it. To me, it doesn't taste like either apricot or raspberry, it tastes like Italian cheesecake, with toasted ricotta instead of cream cheese (eta: and a hint of fruitiness.)

Ah now see... this is where we diverge. When it comes to stand alone fruit flavors, I agree wholeheartedly. You should taste nothing but the fruit itself, or perhaps with some minor enhancement to bring out each fruit's characteristics or personality.

But for the toppings or fillings of baked goods, they're always full of sugar, cinnamon, honey, clove, and all sorts of other goodness in real life. So for the sake of realism should also be when attempting to imitate it in another form. Many fruits are just too tart / bitter / acidic in their natural form and clash, overpower, or just negate the otherwise sweetness or creamyness of the baked good.
