Week 9

Plan update:

When I first started this project I was going to do the tiramisu and then the creme brulee, but now that I’m further in I realize that might not work. For the creme brulee, the recipes calls for vanilla beans which are very expensive and not easy to find. I also am running out of time to be able to make all the things I want. Trying to get expert advise is proving to be harder than I thought as lots of places I’ve looked into do payed tours which is not ideal. There is 2 cafes that I’ve seen that might be the best option to ask for advice.

My next step is to make cheescake for the base of a tiramisu cheescake.

Week 7 and 8

I finally got around to doing the full tiramisu. I had some setbacks with not being able to find ingredientes like the lady fingers. I chose to make them in single size portions and it portioned out very nicely. One of the cool things I learned is that you don’t have to have exact measurments of anything and you can just throw everything together and it still tastes good. I made the first batch with weaker coffee and the flavour wasn’t as rich, so I tried with a differet brand and the flavour came through much better. We had it as dessert for christmas eve and everyone enjoyed it.

This was the first try
