Rorschach Cheesecake

I tried a new recipe over the weekend, creme brulee cheesecake bars. I didn't have toffee bits, so I thought I'd actually try to broil some sugar on top. 
I see a flower. Or maybe a butterfly. It's pretty yummy stuff, unpromising inkblot appearance to the contrary. I used some of the industrial size Krusteaz sugar cookie mix, of apple cheddar spice tart fame, and bruleed instead of toffee chipping. Apart from that, I followed the recipe as written. Next time, I might make the side crusts a bit thinner.

It's Frabjous Fibers in the colorway "Cottage Garden." Here's half of it predrafted:
And on the spindle:
