Tiramisu... are we that obessed?

Before our cake spree, BakerZin has always been our favourite for any cakes. Good selection with minimal disappointment. For a period of time, the Tiramisu has been my favourite and we considered this as the best. After eating Tiramisu from Rocky Pizza, the coffee connoisseur and GOBI. Does Yuan love the BakerZin's Tiramisu as much as before? Let's see...

Tiramisu


"An Italian cheesecake made from mascapone cheese. The finger sponge is soaked in an espresso syrup with brandy & white rum. The mousse is flavoured with masala wine."

Till now, I still like this Tiramisu as much as before. Why is that so? Simply because the mascapone cheese is light and not too much. In my opinion, I always like a slightly higher proportion of finger sponge over mascapone cheese. The main difference between BakerZin and tcc or GOBI is that there isn't much layering. In these way, the taste of the finger sponge will be more outstanding. When mascapone cheese is too creamy or tipped over 50%, the taste of tiramisu becomes more like a mousse, when the proportion between the 2 is about 50%, the initial taste will be the alcohol-flavoured finger sponge.

So when buying tiramisu, it is important to know one's preference? The alcohol content, the creamy mascapone cheese or the finger sponge... In that way, it is easier to make a choice since they all taste just as good.

I guess taste is always relative rather than objective. You can only say one cake is nice when you compare it with another. Having tried tcc's Tiramisu, Gobi's and Bakerzin again, I do have an 2nd opinion. What i liked about Bakerzin's Tiramisu is that the mascapone cheese is split into 2 layers with 2 layers of finger sponge. In this way, you will not have the impression that this tiramisu is too creamy. Thus you will taste the sponge and the mascapone cheese together. However i personally like the taste of rum. In this case, the rum smell in this tiramisu is the weakest when compared with tcc and Gobi. Thus i would generally prefer tcc and Gobi over Bakerzin.
