The roomies and I bravely attempted to (and did, in fact) make tiramisu. We learned a bit about cooking during this experience, the most important lesson being that equipment is key! At one point, we had to whip cream and yolks to create the filling.
We didn't have an electric mixer and thought, "no problem. We'll just stir really really fast."
Let me tell you this now, no human can stir fast enough to do this. After having zero success procuring stiff peaks from the cream and worrying that the entire dessert would be a failure, we fortunately were able to borrow a mixer from the boys who live downstairs. (Yup, the boys have more kitchen appliances than the girls).
Me, flopping over after trying my hardest to be a human mixer.
The cream filling was made and we were able to finish the desert which turned out to be fantastic.
**FYI: Tiramisu needs to sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of four hours but preferably overnight. I didn't know this beforehand so if you're planning to make it, just be aware that you need plenty of time.
