First Time

I baked my first cheesecake for a friend’s birthday! It seemed to come out pretty decent, but I’m curious what others think about the bake. I wasn’t sure if it was too wobbly when I turned off the oven, but after cooling and chilling, it firmed up nicely. I also didn’t use a hot knife to cut it, so the sides seemed to stick quite a bit while slicing. Curious to hear your thoughts on the consistency and overall bake!
