Husband and wife team Joseph and Le’Ann Jackson are bringing a unique and fun concept to the area, cheesecake in a jar. For just $5 customers can purchase a glass jar filled with an entire slice of cheesecake from Le’Anns Cheesecakes ‘N More. Cheesecakes can also be customized, and it offers different bottom choices like chocolate chip brookie (brownie and cookie) bottom, and different toppings like salted caramel, pineapple, peanut butter and more. Also available are gluten-free cheesecakes.
The couple is Brandon based, and while they are looking for a space in Brandon to sell their desserts, customers can currently find them at local farmers markets. Shoppers will find the Le’Anns Cheesecakes ‘N More table at the Ybor Daily Market at 1920 East 7th Ave Monday through Wednesday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. They also attend other markets in the area, anywhere from Sarasota to Clearwater.
“One of the more popular cheesecakes people buy at the Ybor Daily Market is what we call the ‘breakfast cheesecake’. It has a maple bottom with a bacon caramel topping,” said Joseph.
The Jacksons have been in business for eight months, and Joseph quit his job to give his full attention to their start-up business.
“We love doing this. I feel like I’m not working anymore; just living,” he said.
The couple uses a top secret cheesecake recipe, one that Le’Ann was not even privy to until she married her husband.
“My family uses a secret ingredient in our cheesecakes and only family knows it. When we got married, Le’Ann received the family cookbook and only then did he learn the recipe,” explained Joseph.
Le’Anns Cheesecakes ‘N More offers catering and delivery. Delivery is free with a minimum if 12 jars (equal to a whole cheesecake). Also available are cannolis and brookies, as well as many other dessert items. The company partners with Jason’s Firehouse Hot Sauce and Gigi’s Gourmet Caramels and is currently looking to partner up with local farmers to use their fresh ingredients for its desserts.
Customers can currently find these one of a kind cheesecakes in a jar at Cali Viejo, located on State Rd. 60 in Brandon, offering a Spicy Guava cheesecake, and Mobile Meals.

I don’t want to be a deadbeat parent
Written by Mary Huntsman, Esq.
A couple days ago, a father was in my office with a look of desperation on his face. As the consultation continued, I learned that he was in a relationship and had a baby. The relationship had since ended but he had fallen absolutely in love with his baby girl and was desperate to be a part of her life and help raise her. All he wanted was to not be a deadbeat parent, but was facing hurdles with his ex who felt he did not deserve to be a part of the child’s life.

Affordable Care Act
Starting in the beginning of 2014, almost all of the new regulations related to the “Affordable Care Act” will go into effect. The regulations range from increases in taxes to required health-care insurance for full time employees for businesses over a certain size. The definition of full or part time employment will even change.

Author: Mary Hunstman, Esq.
Spring is a time of rebirth and cleaning out the clutter in your life. This is also a good time to look at your affairs and see if you have things in order.
- What if something happened to you?
- Is your family and assets protected?
For many of us thinking of making a Will is on the bottom of the to do list but this in reality should be at the top. It is one of the most important documents someone can have to protect their family when they are gone.
A Last Will and Testament lays out your wishes of how your property will be distributed and tells your loved ones what to do so they are not left in dark. As an attorney, I highly recommend that people come and speak with an attorney to discuss Estate Planning options. Don’t let the name fool you just because it is called Estate does not mean that this is a tool only for the rich among us. The term “estate” is only used because that is what your property at the time of your death is called. Everyone should take the time to protect their loved ones and their property.
So while you are doing your Spring to do list, please feel free to come and have an Estate Planning consultation at no cost to you.
For more information or to schedule an initial estate planning consultation in Tampa, Brandon, or St. Petersburg, contact the Moon Law Group today at (813) 200-7255.
