I've always heard that if you cook with love, you can taste it. And, it's love that goes into the fresh-baked cheesecakes made by Tiffany and Yhanne Battle at Yhanne's House of Cheesecakes in Clayton, Gloucester County.

Tiffany and Yhanne tell 6abc.com they knew each other in high school, but weren't romantically involved until they ran into each other years later.

Reportedly, while on a date where they shared cheesecake, The Battles hatched their plan to start to make cheesecake their business.

Yhanne's House of Cheesecakes began its menu of sweet, creamy treats with just four varieties of cheesecake. Now, they have more than 50 options for cheesecake-lovers like myself to choose from, including Snickers Chunk, Banana Pudding, Strawberry, Chocolate Ganache, and Key Lime.

My mouth is literally watering as I type this, lol. I can't wait to surprise my family with a Yhanne's Cheesecake this weekend.

And, just in time for Valentine's Day, Tiffany and Yhanne have added a Brownie Red Velvet Cheesecake in the shape of a heart to their roster.

Yhanne's House of Cheesecakes is located at 835 North Delsea Dr. in Clayton. Find it online at houseofcheesecakes.net.
