Vitagen Ribena Cheesecake

Work has been insanely stressful today. Other than the regular workload, I have additional marking of exam scripts. It was insanely stressful this afternoon as I marked the P4 EL compos. So even though I got home late, I had my dinner and went into my kitchen. To me, my kitchen is my haven. Baking/Cooking brings me to another world where my worries melt away. I'm just thankful that I had some energy left in me to bake. 

Having had some Ribena left coupled with some fruits from baking my mummy and ma's cake over the weekend, I decided to do some of these Vitagen Ribena Cups. 

Btw, here are the cakes I baked for my mummy and ma over the weekend! (: 

Ma's Pandan Kaya Cake..

Mummy's Mango Mousse Cake

With a pretty box (:

Anyway, I love pretty cakes (: 

This recipe takes about 2 hours to bake and I'd rate it a difficulty level 3 out of 5.
