Yes, I realize that its almost time for the March Daring Baker's Challenge reveal date and I have just posted my completion of the February challenge. If it makes anyone feel better, I actually had my challenge completed before the 27th, but I never got a chance to post it. As it goes, I got engaged last month (the 21st to be exact) and it has been a whirlwind since then. Work has increased (more and more clients) not to mention the budding of wedding planning. Oye, there is no time to sleep!
Needless to say, I am the worse keeper-upper of anything right now since my brain is going all over the place. I think I'm barely able to brush my teeth with toothpaste (although I did try to use it as shampoo one morning). Anyways, here are some pictures of this very labor intensive dessert.

Lady fingers looking all lady-like right out of the oven
The zabaglione looking like a big-hot-mess. It tasted good although I don't think it set the way it was supposed to
I think out of all the parts, I was most proud of myself for making this mascarpone cheese. Look at how pretty and cheese-like it is *pats self on back*
It's not dessert without the whipped cream
And the final product: Tiramisu made from scratch (I might as well have milked the cow)
The tiramisu had a really lemony taste to it since so many of the parts included lemon zest, so I offset it by adding more chocolate in the form of semi-sweet mini chips. The chips also added a nice crunch to the very soft and silky texture of the cream
mmmm...looks yummy special J!
