If you ache for cheesecake as much as I do, continue on.

If you abhor consuming or possessing cheesecakey goodness in your home, skip this post.

If you are an avid enthusiast of cheesecakery and cheesecakedom, by all means don’t touch that browser dial.

If you are president of your local chapter of ACLU (American Cheesecake Lover’s Union), I want to help support your cause, and I encourage you to be as “liberal” as possible with your Cheesecake Lovin’.

If your favorite movie is The Cheesecakist where Edward Norton plays this great chef who, as a kid, makes this amazing cheesecake and shares it with his bestest friend (who grows up to be HOT and is to be married to this one really bad dude) and he increases his cheesecake skills such that he can sell out restaurants and everyone loves his cheesecakes, and there’s this health inspector guy who is after him because he secretly wants to be a chef himself but can’t and besides, he’s kind of wrapped up in this whole political scene, and then the main chef guy, he fakes this whole setup where it looks like he poisoned his HOT bestest friend with one of his masterful cheesecakes but really he fools everyone and moves out of the country with her and lives happily ever after, then you should keep reading.

If you’re someone who would love to donate a piece of cheesecake to 12-15 of Austin’s homeless population, I have an option for you, too.

If you’re not completely turned off by a father shamelessly using his blog to promote and support his 13-yr-old daughter’s Band Fundraising program by posting pictures of cheesecakes and wondering if anyone’s interested in ordering some, then YAY we’re meant for each other, dear reader!

MMMMMM, CHEESECAKE!

You can buy a cheesecake from my daughter, eat it, and feel really good because, well, it’s cheesecake.  Oh, and it helps my daughter’s middle school band.   There are SEVEN different 32oz cheesecakes to choose from: Original, Cherry Swirl, Key Lime, Strawberry Swirl, Turtle, Chocolate Silk, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.  You can check out my little paypal shopping cart for pictures.

Here are the rules:

1. PLEASE, no fighting.  There will probably be enough for everyone.  However, just to be sure, you might want to order early.  I don’t want anyone crying on my shift, really.  Just be courteous to your fellow whalldotorgans (readers of whall.org).
2. You need to order/pay by 9/11/2008.
3. This is not an untested cheesecake thingy.  Caitlin’s been in band a few years, and we ordered these same cheesecakes last year.  Not only did they show up, nice and neat, but they tasted AWESOME!  Our favorites were Reese’s and the Chocolate Silk.
4. If you live near us, there’s no TAX or SHIPPING charges.  You can just give me the money when you see me (but we have to have the order and payment by 9/11) or paypal me.  I set up an extremely simple shopping cart.
5. If you’re remote and would rather not deal with getting something shipped to you and you just want to DONATE a cheesecake to the homeless, paypal me and just buy whatever you want to donate to the homeless.  When we get the cheesecakes in, Caitlin and Jaden and I will cut them up and make little servings (we can probably get 12-15 decent servings from each pie), and ride around town delivering them to the homeless.  We also throw in a smile, a word of encouragement, and a twinkle in our eye at NO CHARGE.  Also, if you want credit, we’ll tell the homeless person who you are.  If you want photos of your cheesecake(s) being delivered, we’ll do that to, as long as the homeless person allows us to.
6. I don’t know if I can ship these cheesecakes anywhere.  I’m pretty sure the school gets them in a big refrigerated shipment, and then the students take home to personally deliver, and we keep them cold until she delivers them.  If you’re interested, I can find a way to ship it to you also.  Or do the donate-to-homeless thing.  You know you want to.

Enjoy!
