Hey y’all!! I’m excited to be hanging out at Julie’s place while she’s away! Many of you know that she’s getting married – and I have to share my congratulations to Mike and Julie! I’m wishing you two all of the best!! As you start this new journey in life, may every day hold wonderful shared experiences! ((Hugs))
Ok, now that we have the mushy stuff out of the way, let me tell you who I am! 
I’m Jamie and I blog over in my little corner of the internet on a blog called Love Bakes Good Cakes. Although the name may imply I only share cakes, that’s not exactly the truth! I share lots of family-friendly recipes!

I have loved Julie’s blog since the first time I read it! I have always loved her work and I was fortunate enough to meet her at Blended Conference last year in Phoenix. She is such a fun person and I can’t remember a time when I laughed so much! Knowing a little bit about Julie, I kinda wanted to share a recipe I was sure she would love! Oreo Chocolate Irish Cream Cheesecake with Irish Cream Whipped Topping anyone?! I know … the name is extremely long. Sorry about that. Once you’re stuffing your face with this deliciousness, you won’t even care what it’s called.
Since Julie’s getting married in March, an Irish Cream liqueur dessert seemed appropriate – right!? Plus, you can never go wrong with cheesecake and chocolate! Amiright?! I was pretty sure anything with booze would be a hit!
I know some people are intimidated with cheesecakes …. don’t be! They’re actually pretty easy to make! If you worry about your cheesecake cracking (it does happen sometimes) … I’ve got an awesome Irish Cream Whipped Topping to cover the cracks – no one will even notice! You’ll look all fancy-pants when you share this dessert and people will think you’re a rock-star baker! Which, if you make this Oreo Chocolate Irish Cream Cheesecake with Irish Cream Whipped Topping, you kinda will be a rock-star baker. Just sayin’.

Jamie,
Your cheese cake is simply beautiful! I would love a piece with my coffee first thing this morning. What a great idea to add the Irish cream to the whipped cream.
Many blessings,
