My Favorite Cheesecake is a Durham dessert business trading as Guyon's My Favorite Cheesecake, run by Chef Tahira from 908 Fayetteville Street. It is a specialist rather than a general bakery: artisanal cheesecake, made in a rotating range of flavours including banana pudding, strawberry and turtle caramel. The business works both from the shop and as a food truck, taking the cheesecakes out to events around the city, and takes orders through its own online store. Its reputation locally has settled on two things — the cheesecakes themselves, and the woman who makes them, whom customers have taken to calling the Cheesecake Queen.
