humungo tiramisu!


happy birthday stanley! :]

i attempted to try the egg version of tiramisu. which failed. my mascarpone cheese was retarded. i realised now that even before i used them, they were alrdy split .. something musta been wrong with that cheese. it wasnt smooth, it was lumpy. (unless i bought the wrong cheese?) so it couldnt have been bec of the egg then -_______-

so i woke up extra early to purchase some new cheese and it was so much better. it was the real smooth one!! hahaha so here was the 45x20cm cake! it was finished in a flash! but i wasnt too happy with the sponge, it was abit dry for me. i should have soaked more coffee into it! but overall, not too sweet - jus the way i like it ;]
