<p>Attention cheesecake lovers &ndash; you might want to sit down and brace yourself before continuing. A bakery in Scotland is creating the most amazing artistan cheesecakes, complete with surprising flavours, sky-high toppings and plenty of rich, creamy goodness. You may already have heard of <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/article/loaded-hot-chocolate" target="_blank">loaded hot chocolate</a> and <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/article/cereal-cafe" target="_blank">cereal milkshakes</a>, but now cake lovers can get in on the action, too!</p><p><a href="http://artisancheesecakes.com/" target="_blank">Artisan Cheesecakes</a> is a small, Scottish, family-run bakery with one café in Bathgate and another café recently opened in Edinburgh. They serve coffees and teas, but their speciality is their amazing cheesecakes in more than 200 flavours and stacked with delicious toppings.</p><p>One of the shop's most popular creations is the Eton Mess cheesecake. Think crumbly biscuit base with a creamy filling and topped with crunchy meringues, soft whipped cream, fresh strawberries and sweet strawberry sauce. The ultimate drool-worthy, summer treat!</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version="7" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:8px;"><div style=" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"><div style=" background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"> </div></div><p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/6b9SHGozpC/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_blank">Sunday's are made for a slice of Eton Mess cheesecake!! ☺️❤️�� #etonmess #FoodPorn #edinburgh #bathgate #edfestival #edibledinburgh #easylikesundaymorning #edfringe @visitscotland @artisancheesecakes</a></p><p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A photo posted by Artisan Cheesecakes (@artisancheesecakes) on <time datetime="2015-08-16T08:02:52+00:00" style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;">Aug 16, 2015 at 1:02am PDT</time></p></div></blockquote><script async defer src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><p>Owner Wendy McQueen, her son Mark and their team are responsible for all the delicious creations including some of the more unusual flavours like chocolate & butterscotch marshmallow medley cheesecake and lime, ginger and homemade passionfruit marshmallows cheesecake.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version="7" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:8px;"><div style=" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"><div style=" background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"> </div></div><p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BC5LjcjIznO/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_blank">Lime, ginger and home made passionfruit marshmallows Cheesecake @artisancheesecakes #luxury @wow247edinburgh @welcometoscotland @visitscotland @visitedinburgh @edinburghairport @edibledinburgh @edinburghspotlight @edinburghlifemag @edinburghfeasts @edinburghfoody @edinburghcastle @edinburghzoo @thisisedinburgh @igersedinburgh @ohmyedinburgh @ohmyedinburgh @live_love_edinburgh @eat.out.edinburgh @hmv_edinburgh @bruntsfieldsocialclub ��x</a></p><p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A photo posted by Artisan Cheesecakes (@artisancheesecakes) on <time datetime="2016-03-13T12:36:42+00:00" style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;">Mar 13, 2016 at 5:36am PDT</time></p></div></blockquote><p><br>And while these handmade cakes are certainly indulgent, Wendy says that they&rsquo;re all freshly made and not at all artificial.
