Tiramisu is the Italian word for "pick me up." Because this awesome dessert is packed with caffeine and sugar. Yesterday I made one Chiang Mai style. A pastry chef without a kitchen is pretty sad- but I'm learning that the urge to create will not be quieted. It led to this baking adventure...
This is a Tiramisu birthday cake- on my motorbike. I bought a bag of cocoa powder, opened it with the motorbike key, closed it with a hair tie, and dusted cocoa over the seat of the bike. Then I made chocolate shavings with a spoon and a candy bar- which, of course, promptly melted in the heat. In the parking lot of Central Airport Plaza. Yep, lots of Thai people staring at the crazy Farang. :)
But- you know what? It tasted awesome.
Here's my cooking school student after sneaking a corner- and that's her husband's hand- yes, he ate some with his bare hands. And it was delicious. :)
