Poppyseed Bakery's Vanilla Cranberry Cheesecake
Tastemaker

’Tis the season for festive treats, and it doesn’t get any sweeter than Poppyseed Bakery’s Vanilla Cranberry Cheesecake. Inspired by the season’s staple flavors, this mini delight stacks baker extraordinaire Maggie Hardy’s rich vanilla bean cheesecake atop brown-sugar spiked graham cracker crust and a layer of scratch-made cranberry sauce. Topped off with whipped cream and house-candied cranberries, each bite is tart-meets-creamy perfection. And at just a few bites each, there’s nothing stopping you from going back for seconds—or thirds! The cheesecake ($12) can be found exclusively at Red Ginger in downtown Traverse City (237 E. Front St.) throughout the month of December. Check out poppyseedtc.com for more custom bakes and catering info.
