For those who haven’t yet tried out the English Cheesecake Company’s fantastically mouth-watering creation, then I urge you just to give it age. They are the most scrumptiously, heavenly tasting cheesecake’s you will have ever come across, and an absolute delight to eat.
The little chef elves at the English Cheesecake Company have been busy this year creating a whole host of lusciousness for the family at Christmas, solving all your dessert dilemmas… and even helping you with those difficult present problems! Yes, buying one of these cheesecakes as a gift really would go down a treat!
Why not try the ‘White Chocolate and Cranberry’ cheesecake as the perfect post Christmas meal treat. The creamy white chocolate cheesecake is blended with delicious fresh chunks of cranberry and white chocolate, on top of a heavenly digestive biscuit base.

Or what about the “Brandy Snap” cheesecake stuffed with crispy brandy snaps and a brandy butter centre, or for those who don’t like cheesecake, there’s a deep deluxe “Irish Fudge Cake” amongst our creations, with Irish Cream topping with moist chocolate brownie chunks – being Irish myself, this sounds utterly delectable – yum yum!

Just make sure you buy enough to go around, as once you have your first taste – you won’t want to stop!
The morale boosting message of this 2nd World War slogan continues to have much relevance today.
In fact, with the banking crisis / student loans / terrorists / the weather…etc, “Keep Calm And Carry On” is a mantra most of us need to hear on a daily basis.

It typifies Englishness, that stiff upper lip. It harks back to when this country had values that meant something. I have just turned into my Dad – this is horrifying, I will stop this now.
But, Keep Calm And Carry On reminds us that we do have a country to be proud of. It also reminds us to keep a level head when all goes a little mad around us.
The range is complete. Truly the one stop shop for that tricky person to buy for, something for everyone.

The latest release are the fab KCCO door mats. The mats are eco friendly being made from coconut husks and have a non slip rubber base. At £20, an easy gift solution.

As traditional as the slogan itself, this KCCO cushion has been created the old fashioned way! The letters, crown and Union Jack flag have been individually stitched on using a traditional appliqué technique. Filled with a duck feather inner pad, this is perfect for cuddling when all seems lost! £35 – available in red or Union Jack.
I did mention the range was extensive, there is a gift idea here for everyone - Cuff links, biscuits chocolate bars, posters, tote bags, coasters and table mats, aprons and mugs.

For me, though, the Keep Calm And Carry On slogan works best on clothing. Many celebs have been spotted with their KCCO t shirts or hoodies, including Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley in Harry Potter), James May and, um, Jordan. Two out of three aint bad…
Seriously though, ditch the thought of those socks or jumpers. Giving something from Keep Calm And Carry On will guarantee total satisfaction. The t shirts are £20.
If you still need convincing, check out the super cool Retro Flight Bag. Very nice….....
I have reviewed the English Cheesecake Company before, and am thrilled to say that I am now once again about to do the same!
Being a Cheesecake fanatic, I just can’t resist the mouth watering dessert. Now I have finally had the chance to sample one of the most amazing, spectacular cakes from this company, and I can tell you that I am most delighted with them. What a fantastic cheesecake it was. It has the softest, yummiest, scrumptious filling, with a base that just melts in your mouth. Oh, the taste is just divine, you will, without a doubt have to sample one out for yourself!
There are a variety of cheesecakes available, but with Halloween around the corner, I have to show you these.
The ‘Pumpkin Patch’ cheesecake has a combination of dark chocolate spiders and chocolate orange pumpkins, heaped on top of irresistible and delicious classic rich and creamy vanilla cheesecake on a crunchy chocolate biscuit base. I’m licking my lips at this one!

When the English Cheesecake Company got in touch with me, my taste buds definantly were tingling. I am such a cheesecake fanatic, could easily eat more than one serving at any time, no matter how full I am. I just can’t say no if it’s offered to me!
Many of us often worry about what to get our Dad on Fathers Day. Every year it’s usually the same thing; socks, or his favourite aftershave, or even a bottle of his favourite tipple. Not really unique, is it? So with the football season upon us, why not treat him to a delicious gift with a difference, to which he can share with all his loved ones. Bring him up-to-date with the ‘fantasy football’ cheesecake from The English Cheesecake Company. They state:-
‘Made of mouth-watering, deep vanilla cheesecake which rests on an indulgent chocolate biscuit base, the fabulously decadent ‘Fantasy Football’ cheesecake is just the thing to let your Dad know he’s the best. The cheesecake is crammed full of yummy milk chocolate balls, and if that’s not enough to satisfy even the most die-hard chocoholic Dad, the outline is hand-piped with chocolate fudge and the darker sections are created using the finest chocolate biscuit.’
Oh my goodness, I could read that over and over again. You can just imagine the taste in your mouth, yummy scrummy! The cheesecake is 8 inches and will serve 12 (well, depending on the size of the portion, much less if I was to get hold of it). And, at a price of £23.99, for all that yumminess, it is definitely worth it!

If that isn’t enough, why not personalize it with a special message? You can add a personalized plaque to the cheesecake from a vast and adventurous range offered by the company. Many other gifts are available from The Cheesecake Company, offering a solution to any hard to buy for Dad; from ‘Milk Choc Bubble Trouble’ and ‘The Way to Amarillo’ to ‘Chocolate Cookie Mudslide’ and ‘Bohemian Raspberry’, you will most definitely find the one to suit your Dad.

Prices start at £19.99, depending on the size and variety; this includes free mainland UK delivery. Adding a personalized disc starts at an additional £4.99, and are available to buy at http://www.englishcheesecake.com
