In honor of National Cheesecake Day, The Cheesecake Factory is pulling out a few sweet stops. Today only, guests can get their fix of the chain's 30-plus flavors for half off.

In addition to varieties like red velvet and white raspberry truffle, the restaurant is also offering a new flavor, Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake, at the promotional price and donating 25 cents of each slice to charity. So if you love your cheesecake studded with peanut butter cup chunks and layered with fudge cake and caramel, today's your lucky (and guilt-free) day.

I'm pretty sure Mr. Yum will be dragging me to the San Francisco location for a bite of his favorite — the simple-yet-classic plain version. What will you be ordering?

Get Your Cheap Cheesecake!

To commemorate their 30th anniversary, the Cheesecake Factory will be lowering the price of cheesecake.

To commemorate their 30th anniversary, the Cheesecake Factory will be lowering the price of cheesecake. When the first Factory opened in Beverly Hills in 1978, a piece of cheesecake was only $1.50. Tomorrow, (which also happens to be National Cheesecake Day) the restaurant chain will offer cheesecake at its original ($1.50) price!

In addition to serving the cheap cheesecake, the Cheesecake Factory is introducing a special, limited-edition flavor, the 30th Anniversary Chocolate Cake Cheesecake. A portion of the sales of each anniversary slice will be donated to America's Second Harvest.

If you can't make it to a Cheesecake Factory tomorrow, no worries, the "sweet initiative" celebration — additional promotions have yet to be announced — will continue throughout the year.

Cheesecake 101

Delicious, creamy, smooth, divine... the adjectives that describe the taste of cheesecake are descriptive and hunger provoking.

Delicious, creamy, smooth, divine... the adjectives that describe the taste of cheesecake are descriptive and hunger provoking. Whatever word you use to describe it, cheesecake is one dessert that brings a decadent finish to a meal. In honor of today being National Cheesecake Day, I put together a little lesson on perfecting the art that is the cheesecake.

  • Before starting to bake, be sure that all of the ingredients are at room temperature. If you do not have time to bring the elements to room temperature before mixing, soften the cream cheese in the microwave: Unwrap and place in a microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for 15-30 seconds.
  • Do not over beat the filling. This will cause additional air in the batter and may cause cracking.

  • Invest in a spring form pan.
  • To prevent leaks in the oven, cover the bottom of the spring form pan with foil. OR place the spring form pan on top of a cookie sheet or pizza pan.
  • Don't open the oven a bunch of times when the cake is baking.
  • A cheesecake is ready when the edges are slightly puffed and the center jiggles when shaken.
  • When you remove the cake from the oven, run a butter knife around the top edge of the pan. This will help the crust naturally cool away from the sides of the pan.

  • Allow sufficient time to cool and chill before serving.
  • Garnish a cheesecake directly before serving.
  • To prevent cracking, bake the cheesecake in a water bath to maintain moisture.
  • Before filling the pan with the crust and batter, generously grease the sides. Cheesecakes shrink as they cool and you want it to shrink in on the sides rather than pulling apart in the middle.
  • Eliminate all lumps in the cream cheese before incorporating the eggs.
