Oreo Cheesecake

March 10, 2010  |  Blog Post, Educational, News  |  , , ,

Here is my recipe for mini oreo cheesecakes. I will include it in the recipe section as well. Start by assembling your ingredients and tools.

Ingredients:

2 cups oreo cookie crumbs

ΒΌ cup butter

2 pkgs cream cheese 8 oz, softened

1 1/4 cups white sugar, divided

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla, divided

1 can raspberry pie filling

2 cups whipping cream

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees C. Line muffin tins with 24 cupcake liners.

Start by melting your butter in a medium glass bowl.

Next add your oreo crumbs and mix thoroughly.

Then divide crumb mixture evenly into cupcake cups and press to create the crust. They usually take about a rounded tablespoon each.

Next soften 16oz cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds on high in a large glass bowl.

Add 3/4 C sugar a little at a time and beat until smooth. Add eggs and 1 tsp vanilla and beat again. Divide evenly among cupcake liners and bake at 350 degrees C for 13-15 minutes. Allow to cool. Add 1 tsp raspberry pie filling to the top of each cheesecake.

In medium bowl combine whipping cream, 1/2 C sugar and 1 tsp vanilla. Whip until stiff peaks form. Place in piping bag if desired and pipe onto each cheesecake over pie filling.

They are best made a few hours ahead; wait until serving to pipe whipping cream and top with an oreo. Enjoy!

Fake French Braid

I’m struggling to do a french braid in K-Kat’s hair that doesn’t look like she did it herself. I tried this the other day and it looked good and stayed in really well too.

Beginner Princess Hair

I was sent a link from my sister-in-law to a blog about doing little girl hair http://www.princesshairstyles.com/. I have been floating around the internet the last couple of days in a world I didn’t even know existed, ha ha. Here is our beginner attempt at princess hair.

I started by making a part in a circle around her head. The hair on the inside I twisted in a clip to keep out of the way. Next I parted the outer circle in the middle at the top and made two small ponies on either side of her face.

Crazy Crayon

Here is how to make a crazy crayon. Why would you want to make a crazy crayon? So you can take your crayon drawings to a whole new level of ‘artsy’.

1. Make a mold out of tinfoil. I made mine using a water bottle ice cube tray, but you can also mold one around your finger, etc. This would also be a good time to turn on the oven. I don’t think the temperature really matters, we used 350.

C-Man

codyforblog

Lookin’ good if I do say so myself. This is a three light setup with a background of some old non-glossy vinyl. (How fortunate I am to have a father-in-law that works at a transfer station, ha ha.)

1. I have my key light SB600 1/4 power about three feet away from subject 45 degrees camera right through a shoot through umbrella. 2. A side/cross light LumoPro 120 1/16 power 5 feet away 45 degrees back camera left bare. 3. A LumoPro 120 pointed at the background behind the subject ( 1/16 I think?). I am about 4 feet in front of subject shooting handheld at 1/250 at f10 ISO 200 with a 50mm 1.4 lens on a Nikon D200. White balance set to flash and no gels used. Minimal processing for contrast etc in Photoshop CS4. I have the C-Man facing the umbrella and then turning slightly towards me. Adjust glasses if necessary to eliminate reflections, and work quickly if you have a grumpy subject, ha ha. I had to trade a back massage for his modeling services.

K-Cat and Buddy

kaitybuddy

K-Cat with her favorite toy buddy. This is a two light set up using a wall in our basement as a backdrop. 1. Key light is an SB600 1/4 power 2 feet away from subject 45 degrees camera right through a shoot through umbrella. 2. Fill light is a LumoPro 120 1/4 power 4 feet away from subject 45 degrees camera left bounced off of the ceiling. I am about 3 feet in front of K-Cat shooting at 1/200 f5.6 ISO 200 with a 50mm 1.4 lens on a Nikon D200. Try to keep your subject at least 2 or 3 feet away from the wall to minimize any shadows. Happy Snapping!

Whoop Up Days Fireworks

fireworks2009

Fireworks are beautiful and a lot of fun. A tripod is a must since you will want to keep your shutter open about 2 seconds to capture the full bloom. Set up your camera aimed at the fireworks and start out with a shutter speed of 2 seconds at f8 ISO 200. If you want to keep your shutter open longer to capture more fireworks going off in succession, you can raise your aperture up to f11 or higher to make a smaller hole for the light to come in. Play around and try it out. Happy Snapping!

Lighting Crazy-L

Lukasscream

Crazy-L always makes a face. I used to think it was for the camera, like one of those fake smiles kids have when their mom says ‘say cheese’. Nope, the more I watch him the more I realize he is always making a face. This is his normal.

This is a one light setup. Key light SB600 1/2 power about 3 feet from subject 45 degrees camera left shot through a shoot through umbrella. Camera settings are balanced for ambient fill at 1/80 f7.1 ISO 100 with a 50mm 1.4 lens on a Nikon D200. Flash was gelled with a 1/4 CTO for warmth. Learn to light at Strobist.com. Happy Snapping!

More Baby Feet

More baby feet, and more of Grandpa’s hard working hands. I wish I had a fancy quote for baby feet, they make me feel closer to heaven. Although I had a friend and her baby girl kind of had stinky feet. I still don’t know how you get a baby to have stinky feet.

This is a one light set up. A SB600 1/8 power directly above and behind camera about 2 or 3 feet from subject shot through a shoot through umbrella. I am shooting about 2 feet from subject. Camera set at 1/80 f3.5 ISO 200 with a 50mm 1.4 lens on a Nikon D200. The baby’s legs were wrapped with a piece of black velvet that was spread out to make a light sucking black background.

Grandpa’s Hand

Brookhand

B-Cookie holding Grandpa P’s hand. Newborn babies are great because they tend to sleep a lot and ignore the camera.

This one is a two light set up. 1. Key light SB600 1/4 power 3 feet from subject 45 degrees camera right through a shoot through umbrella. 2. Fill light LumoPro 120 1/8 power 3 feet from subject 45 degrees camera left through a shoot through umbrella. 3. There is a large North facing window behind the camera. I am shooting about 2 feet away from subject with a lower shutter speed to capture ambient light, settings 1/30 f7.1 ISO 200. Shot with a 50mm 1.4 lens on a Nikon D200. I wanted very gentle soft even light. Baby is laying on a fuzzy/fleecy white blanket.

Baby Feet

B-Cookie’s baby feet. Cute perfect baby feet. This one is a two light set up.

1. The key light SB600 1/4 power 2 feet away from subject 45 degrees camera right through a shoot through umbrella. 2. Background light (I don’t really remember what I did here. Oops. I think I either bounced the flash off of the ceiling onto the white sheet background, or I balanced the flash camera left with the window camera right on the white sheet background. The point is to have a nice even white background that is 1-2 stops darker than the subject.) I am about two feet away from the subject shooting at 1/100 f4 ISO 200 with a 50mm 1.4 lens on a Nikon D200. I stuffed a white fuzzy/fleecy blanket into a white basket and laid the baby on top with her feet up to the edge. The hardest part can be positioning the feet. Try to get the baby fed and changed and keep the temperature in the room warm. A happy sleepy baby is easiest to work with.

Guns ‘n’ Headshots

Peter-Headshot

Would you give this man a gun? I sure hope so. It’s a photo for his gun license. This is a one light set up.

1. Key light SB600 1/4 power slightly to camera right about 4 feet from subject through a shoot through umbrella. 2. Subject is holding a large white reflector bouncing light into the shadows under his chin. I am shooting about 3 feet away from the subject camera settings 1/100 f3/5 ISO 100 using a 50mm 1.4 lens and a Nikon D200. The subject is about 4 feet from the background. The background is actually dark grey, but is far enough away from the lights that it falls to almost straight black.

Crazy-L & B-Boy

null

Having fun with some new gear. These were lit with a Nikon SB600 bare from camera right. The trick is gelling the flash to make it look more like sunset. I think I had either a 3/4 or Full CTO (color temperature orange) gel on it. You balance your flash output and your aperture to get the correct exposure for your subject. Once you have done that, you can pretty much move your shutter speed up or down until the ambient looks how you want it. In this case I had a higher shutter speed to make the background and sky darker.
