Embrasse Review - A Sunday Lunch Part II @ Carlton

One Sunday afternoon, the Boy and I were again wandering lost without a plan in mind. I jumped on Twitter to check what was the menu at Embrasse for their Sunday lunch, and to my delight, it was chicken and fish! (I can't eat beef you see...)...

And as a plus, if we mentioned we had come to dine on that day because of Twitter, we get a free cheese platter included in our meal... So that decided it! We were on our way!!!...

As we got there, Camm (FOH manager) greeted us with a twinkle in his eye... sat us down next to the window (fantastic!) and proceeded to tell us what the lunch would consist of..

Tiramisu Cake Balls

Cake Balls have become all of the rage now these days (in internet cooking terms)... I first heard about it from the fantastic Bakerella...

So for one pot luck dinner we recently had (the theme was Italian)... I put my hands up for dessert...and decided to make Tiramisu Cake Balls :) A deconstructed version of the classic Italian Tiramisu Cake

This was a fairly easy and fun process... I used a regular Tiramisu cake recipe (found on the web) and incorporated that together with the Cake Ball recipe (from Bakerella)... this is one fun (and messy) project for the whole family to do!
