All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

Photo of a missing slice of cheesecake that looks like a cheesecake hull floating in a deep blue ocean. The "ocean" is actually the blueberry topping on the large cheesecake that we don't see completely.

When you are one step ahead of the crowd it’s not obvious if you are a fool or a visionary. But at least the view ahead is less crowded.
