Layered Peppermint Cheesecake

I saw this cake in the December Southern Living and just had to try it. It was well worth the effort, but mine did not look nearly as pretty.  Here's what I learned.  The cheesecake layers are supposed to be frozen when you put the cake together.  I followed that step as directed, but I made the mistake of putting them in my garage freezer which is fickle in the wintertime and they didn't freeze solid.  When I was putting the cake together, it started falling apart almost immediately because the cheesecake layers weren't firm enough.  It still tasted great, but as you can see, mine was a little lopsided.
