Which one to choose? I like the look of cupcakes, and some artist chefs out there can make amazing cupcakes. What they can do with a little a bit of icing and their art, it’s amazing.

There are many recipes out there that require many steps and honestly, I am not a big fan. I have so many things to do in a day, I really don’t want to break my head over a recipe.

One morning, I was once again in front of my fridge, and I saw I had some whipping cream and some mascarpone cheese with their expiration dates were approaching. I had a craving for an orange Portuguese cake, but no use for my poor cheese and whipping cream in that recipe! So I started thinking if I can make something like an orange cake (because that’s what my soul was asking for), but with Mascarpone cheese and whipping cream?

Let’s start with a little bit of history. According to Wikipedia, Ladyfingers were created in the 15th century to mark the occasion of a visit by the King of France. Other names for these cookies include savoiardi in Italy, sponge fingers in British English and Langues de Chats in Quebec. The spongy texture of Ladyfingers makes them ideal for soaking in sugar syrup or liqueur, or in coffee or espresso as a part of tiramisu. Infants enjoy these cookies because they are soft, yet easy to grasp and firm enough not to fall apart.
