A tiramisu is an Italian coffee flavoured layered dessert with sponge fingers , custard and mascarpone . BAKED DESSERTS.... Baked desserts such as pastries , cakes , pies and tarts require a little more effort to prepare than other types of desserts . Souffles do need to be prepared carefully , do not over whip the egg whites , gently fold them into the souffle base and bake immediately . Souffles must be served straight from the oven .
