I agree that they look heavenly, but I have a hard time with promotions of $90 cheesecakes. Hope whoever orders them enjoys!

They look divine!!!!
Some people, their time or sanity is worth 90$…
and if they cant bake they may as well enjoy such a beautiful cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kaila says
I think these cheesecakes are beautiful and I’d love to be gifted one!!! 🙂 That being said, I do think my time and sanity are worth the price and I’m a horrid baker, but nonetheless the price still isn’t within reach. It’s not alway as simple as “what’s my sanity worth?”… just my 0.02…

Agreed. There is a lot of content here that I really do enjoy but I also have a hard time with promotions of a lot of vendors/stores on this site that are just so costly. Clothing, shoes, papergoods…

Why is it hard for you to see an ad for something that isn’t relevant for you? No one is forcing anything on anyone. Please try to understand that there is a large audience here and even if something doesn’t fit into your budget, it may be helpful for someone else.

Mostly because I feel it subconsciously promotes a certain standard that just keeps going up. I happen to be privy to a few different tzedaka organizations’ data and the amount of poverty and debt in our world (in town and out of town) is scary. I think lots of the clothing, shoes, tablescapes, food that is posted is beautiful and if I am honest there are also posts on lower end items (Shein, H&M etc.) but I know that many people view posts here as a sort of “benchmark” for what is “normal” in the frum world. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, as I am and it’s very much okay to disagree. That’s what makes this blog and the world an interesting place!

Hi-
Yes, cheesecake has always been an expensive cake! The ingredients alone for a basic cake can cost almost $40, let alone a decorated one. We’re all feeling the rise in the cost of ingredients, from the manufacturers down to the consumers. Shavuos only comes once a year, and cheesecake is one of the traditional onegs of this Yom Tov. Of course, it’s one own choice whether this is a way they want to beautify their Yom Tov (or treat a hostess!). For many, cheesecake is the splurge they look forward to (for cost and calories!).
At BCP, we all respect everyone’s decision, whether they want to make or buy. For those who want to make, the good news is we have delicious recipes coming up!

I really appreciate P’s post! Firstly, everyone most definitely entitled to their own opinion. But, on a public lifestyle site, there is the sense that what’s being presented on it is considered “Standard” or “normal” and by being featuring high end, luxury items, the bar is being raised for everyone. Also, can’t some things be absolutes? 90$ for a cheese cake is high-end luxury-NOT the difference between sanity and not managing. If you can’t bake a cheesecake, live without it, or buy a gorgeous one for 25$. The definition of doing things for your sanity is a bit intense! I find BCP very helpful and entertaining, but I do feel that some of the content creates a new standard of normal that is perhaps….not so normal? Thanks for letting me share my opinion:)

I am going to be baking my own amazing cheesecake this Yom Tov. It takes under 10 minutes. I’m confused about how buying, rather than making cheesecake saves anyones sanity. Try it once and you will see.
That having been said, I think Faigy has a good point. Being that standards do appear to be going up even as many families are struggling with runaway inflation, let’s try to have the confidence to know what works best for us. We each have our own cheshbonos.
