Well my first Daring Bakers Challenge is done! I loved it, though annoyingly, I did kind of rush it, so presentation wise it leaves a lot to be desired, but it tasted great, so I guess that’s the main thing!
So, the recipes -
Mascarpone Cheese – Vera’s Recipe (Baking Obsession) for Homemade Mascarpone Cheese.
Savoiardi/ Ladyfinger Biscuits – Recipe from Cordon Bleu At Home
Tiramisu – Carminantonio’s Tiramisu from The Washington Post, July 11 2007
The cheese was so easy I couldn’t believe it, I have always bought mascarpone because I thought I could never possibly make it, but it was great. The ladyfinger biscuits turned out so perfectly I could have cried! And the rest, well, the recipes really were amazing, it turned out great. I made the coffee element decaf and super weak, as I don’t like strong coffee, but apart from that, no recipe changes.
All in all, I loved it, and can’t wait for the next one. Will try and work on the presentation skills for the next one hehe. But in my defence, I was camping while trying to present this, so with limited supplies I’m pretty happy!

Well done on your first challenge! I know the problem with trying to get photos when everyone is more interested in eating it! As long as it tasted good, thats really what counts. well done once again!

Thanks Dharm, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I saw all the other members and seriously can’t figure out how they get all their beautiful layers! I have so much to learn.
