Hi, I’m Bilal — management consultant turned cheesecake maker. crème started as a pandemic baking experiment, but one dessert kept calling me back: the Basque-style cheesecake. This rustic Spanish dessert is a study in contrast, and something about the caramelized, almost burnt, exterior giving way to that silky, custard-like center just clicked.


Friends and family couldn’t get enough, so earlier this year (Feb 2025), I decided to perfect the recipe in a commercial kitchen, bringing outrageously creamy cheesecakes to weekly drops, farmers markets, pop-ups, and café menus. Every cake is made in small batches here in Plymouth, MN, using high-quality ingredients and naturally gluten-free recipes. They’re made for moments worth savoring — whether that’s a gathering, a gift, or a quiet evening just for you.


This journey has been fueled by curiosity, a sweet tooth, and the incredible support of people like you. Whether you’ve been here since my first drop or you’re just discovering us now, I’m so glad you’re part of it. So come along! Try a slice, share it with someone you love, and join me in writing the next chapter.
