Do you remember when it was your birthday and your mom would send you to elementary school with cupcakes for everybody in the class? Well, my mom would make these awesome mini cherry cheesecakes, which made my birthday the most looked-forward-to of the whole school year. These are easy to make, but look fancy, taste great, and are guaranteed to impress at kid and adult parties alike.
