This recipe is fake! I tried to make this cheesecake and it didn't work at all.

This recipe is a waste of time. I followed it exactly and my cheesecake still turned out terrible.

I don't know what I did wrong, but this cheesecake just didn't turn out right. It was dry and crumbly.

This cheesecake was a disaster! It cracked all over the top and the crust was burnt.

The crust was a little too crumbly for my liking. I think I'll use a different recipe next time.

This cheesecake is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a little more sugar next time.
