i made these out of polymer clay! i looked at ref pics and also went by what i remember from baking cheesecakes from scratch. i make the edges golden brown and make it a little raised, just like real homemade cheesecakes do when you bake them
i fully texture the sides, very gently so it has a finer texture more like cheesecake (as opposed to the spongy look of regular cake). i texture the graham cracker crust finely too, even the bottoms of them xD
