The tiramisù was also for Lacey's birthday party. Lacey has always loved tiramisù so I thought it might be a fun addition. I couldn't exactly take it out of the pan at the party to take a picture of a slice so you just get the whole thing:
I had baked for a few days and had completed the other four cakes for the party already. I woke up on the morning of the party and decided that tiramisù was a must. It's a crowd pleaser and Lacey loves it. I had already bought the ingredients in case I felt like getting around to it so I just hopped out of bed and went straight in the kitchen.
My best friend Alyssa was in town to visit for a few days (sadly she lives in Missouri now) so I happily put her to work too.
She was put in charge of the eggs. Putting someone else in charge of eggs is a pretty big deal for me because I am very OCD about eggs but I knew she'd do a great job. Her job was to whisk the yolks, sugar, and sweet marsala in a bowl on top of a pot of simmering water while holding a candy thermometer. She also had to make sure the bowl stayed balanced on the water because you have to put the wooden spoon between the two pots in order to let the steam out (think back to the explosion from
Zach's la Bomba). I sound like an evil friend right? Maybe I was just letting her get or hands dirty or maybe I just didn't want to do it myself.... mwah ha ha.
