"I work at a coffee shop and my favorite coffee drink is a caramel macchiato so I created a caramel macchiato cheese cake that has become my favorite cheese cake." I have this posted on Allrecipes, check out the great reviews. Also you can watch a video of myself making the cheesecake here http://allrecipes.tv/whatscooking/janesville_wi.aspx .
