Tiramisù itself arrived from northeastern Italy—layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone that grew from café culture in Veneto. In Naples, Florida, that Italian culinary thread runs alongside subtropical agriculture and a seafood-first dining scene; citrus groves and dairy distribution on Florida’s low limestone shelf help define ingredient availability here. Expect practical instruction on sponge texture, espresso strength, and cocoa finishing, plus a short look at ingredient provenance and why fresh eggs and high-fat mascarpone change the result.
The class balances demonstration with hands-on practice: you’ll bake savoiardi, prepare the mascarpone filling, layer the dessert, and compare your version to a professional sample. Bring dietary notes in advance—many classes accommodate preferences but may use raw eggs. Wear closed-toe shoes and a comfortable apron if you have one; recipes and a Certificate of Attendance are provided to take home. Arrive 15 minutes early so the session can start promptly at 4:30 PM. For anyone curious about technique rather than spectacle, this workshop delivers concentrated, useful skills and a clear path to recreating tiramisù at home.
