How to Cover or Hide Imperfections of an Otherwise Delicious Cheesecake

By , About.com Guide

Cheesecakes are notorious for developing cracks and sunken areas, even if you've followed all of the advice to keep the top perfect. One way to hide cracks is to spread a layer of sweetened sour cream over the entire surface, then decorate with sliced soft fruit or berries, chocolate shavings, or chopped or slivered nuts. If the cheesecake has sunken a bit but isn't a complete failure, fill the indentation with whipped topping and top that with fruit.
