We recently celebrated a birthday in my house and I am happy to report that it required a birthday tiramisu rather than a birthday cake. Magic! It may not be the most beautiful tiramisu I have ever made but I was so excited that my daughter wanted to help that I didn’t care.
This is one of my husbands favorite deserts and it actually isn’t that hard.
