The night before Bratfest, the grad student crew of LPL become expert cheesecake makers. We use only the finest ingredients to make all the cheesecakes that will be at Bratfest, from recipes created for the occasion by Faith Vilas, Bob Marcialis, Ellen Howell, and others through the years. In 1996, we made close to 60 cheesecakes! As you can imagine, all this work requires a little respite, so the evening's "Cheesecake Party" has developed a life of its own. Thanks to everyone who contributed their time and energy!
Some of the LPL alums gather to reminisce outside.
The current incarnation of the LPL band, Science Diet, plays for the crowd.
A little r and r after a long day's baking frenzy.
