Tiramisu is my most favourite dessert in the world! if i ever see it on the menu at restaurants i never hesitate to order it so i can gleefully shove spoonfuls of creamy coffee squishy cake into my soul hungry stomach mmm hungry ANYWAYS ive never thought of actually making a tiramisu from scratch theres always been a niggling idea that there was some secret ingredient and after a quick google search i found a crapload of recipes using uncooked eggs and im not a big fan of uncooked eggs so i knocked up a basic recipe and tadah!

a funny story about the liquer i used- tia maria so i wanted a mini bottle of tia maria and went into a bottle shop with the mothership and i explained to the owner dude that i onli needed 4 tablespoons of tia maria to make a cake and he goes “here take this bottle, use what you need and when youre done bring back the bottle and save a slice of cake for me” BWAHAHAHA how nice was he?!? in complete faith he let me run off with a giant bottle of tia maria!!! aw he’ll get a giant slice of cake from me!

hehe my cream to cake ratio is awesome hoho i love my cream
Back to home
Oh my… that looks so lush! I’ll take the whole lot please :P

You know who this is.
Your future cousin in law (OPPS. DIDN’T MEAN TO EMBARASS YOU :D) Hahahaha.
Your food journal makes me hungry for some yummy foodzzz.

So, I have 3 more HSC exams left. Gosh they’re tiring and stress and OMGZ I’M FAILING!
— Annabelle Oct 26, 07:56 PM #ps. GOSH YOUR BAKERY PRODUCTS WERE NICE.
I sat there munching obsessively like a squirrel chewing some good nuts. (OKAY BAD SIMILIE I KNOW.)
After HSC I shall find your lovely stall…and buy like a desperately hungry fat person greedy for sugary treats (OKAY ANOTHER BAD SIMILIE) ~ no seriously though, I will.
— Annabelle Oct 26, 08:00 PM #Let’s go out for dinner at all those fancy, different far away resturaunts and we’ll critique them with gold stars.
1000 gold stars meaning “TOPS MATE” and 0 gold stars meaning ”...”
Yes? Yes.

— kat Oct 27, 01:41 AM #No way, your first attempt? It looks like you’re a dab hand at it ;)
— Lorraine E Oct 27, 11:10 AM #Hi chocolatesuze! Stopped by your stall today with the two little girls and got five cupcakes. We just had them for afternoon tea and they were DELICIOUS! We especially loved the generous layers of flavourful icing. YUM!!
— Laura Oct 27, 04:39 PM #mmmm luv tirimisu…i did it with caramel Baileys…oh the sacrifice of eating too much cream and alcohol :) That Liquor Store Guy is so sweet!! Did he like the tirimisu???
— Rachy Oct 28, 08:29 PM #kat: hello lurker! hehe recipe shall go up soon it all depends on a certain boy who will or wont eat the tiramisu lol glad you like my strange food blog!
— chocolatesuze Oct 30, 04:42 PM #lorraine: beginners luck? lol im sure the next time i make it ill leave out some important ingredient like sugar haha
laura: hello! thanks for swinging by i like chatting to my readers! mmm i love a higher icing to cake ratio on my cupcakes hehe
rachy: ooh yum baileys! must try that instead of tia maria hehe yeah the liquor guy liked it and ordered some shortbread for his store haha
What a nice liquor store guy! Maybe he should set up a bottle-sharing program. Then I might pop into the store next time and borrow that bottle of Tia Maria :D
