Tiramisu!

So i have to make a video for one of my assignments, i want to make a cooking video, but im a bit scared people will say mean things about it .... =[ "constructive criticism" ... T_T.... really scared actually, i really like cooking and don't want people to say mean things about it haha guess i gotta grow a tougher skin huh?? =]

So this is the assignment criteria:

Video Presentation: Best get started on this one as soon as you can! By 
the start of week 4 you’ll have uploaded a video presentation for viewing and 
constructive criticism online. We don’t care whether you use your camera phone, whether you have an Oscar-winning crew of 100, or whether you simply talk over the 
top of some slides you’ve prepared – the emphasis is on telling a story in 3 minutes, 
and in an effective way. You’re able to talk on absolutely anything you like (keep it 
controversy-free, please! The videos will be moderated for any 
offensive/inappropriate content), the key is to introduce a topic to an audience that 
probably know nothing about it, and impart some key information in a highly concise 
way. You’ll be provided with lots of suggested resources for this, in terms of software 
and presentation style, and will be given a lot of feedback from the rest of the class 
and your tutors. Many of you won’t have done anything like this before, that’s okay, 
you’re being marked on content and approach, not aesthetics or editing or lighting or 
sound (though obviously you have to be able to be heard clearly!), but obviously 
these are important aspects in oral/visual presentation - take the opportunity to have 
fun but also apply some of the ideas and techniques that will be covered in the 
lecture and in other great talks you can find online.

so.... im not even sure if a cooking video is even.. relevant?? "tell a story in 3minutes in an effective way" ... "key is to introduce a topic to an audience that probably know nothing about it, and impart some key information in a highly concise way" "apply some of the ideas and techniques that will be covered in the lecture and in other great talks you can find online" ... so it's mainly a talk.... i guess i will be conveying the message .. on how to make tiramisu (something the audience will probably know nothing about) and will be presenting the info in a highly concise way by explaining what i am doing... applying techniques.. by.. ?? not mumbling and being clear LOL may work actually... hmm

so what i want to say first is...

1. tiramisu - sounds fancy doesn't it? Hurricanes describes it as "A dessert of sponge soaked in coffee, layered with cream and mascarpone, powdered chocolate" and they charge $14.50 for a slice. A SLICE!! 
2. I don't know about you, but I like getting my money's worth. I can show you how to make a whole dish of tiramisu for under $14 so you never have to pay ridiculous prices for this deliciously mouthwatering dessert ever again!
3. What you will need is:
a) 2 cups of strong black coffee ($2.15 sachet of coffee) - optional to add coffee flavoured liqueur into this mixture as well
b) 3 eggs separated, separated ($2.70 a doz - 3/12*$2.70 = 68c for 3 eggs)
c) 1/3 cup caster sugar ($1.82 per 500gm bag, 70gm = 26c )
d) 250gm mascarpone ($5)
e) 300ml thickened cream ($1.50)
f) 1 large packet of sponge fingers ($4.30 for 400gm)

Total cost: $13.89 ~ $13.90

4. Go through this recipe:

5. serves 8-10 people depending on how greedy they are, so each slice will cost less than $2! a whole lot better than the $14.50 charged at Hurricanes ey??  (final shot of tiramisu slice, then the gaping hole in the middle of the tiramisu dish. hahaaha

Also, i guess i was scared about people criticising it, but hey, the whole point of the assignment is to get constructive feedback about how i present information, and the assignment is 7.5%. it is no reflection on how well i cook, and no reflection of me as a person, so yeh! if they criticise... then it will be feedback on information presentation, not on my cooking skills or how much people like me or not hahaaha

i'm looking forward to this XD
