Mini Mocha Banana Tiramisu

Tiramisu is always everybody favorites. Couple days ago .. I was craving Tiramisu. I was thinking to make one with a little twist and easy to make it. I found a good mocha powder from Starbucks last months. It was so good for morning drink before I go to work. So why not making Tiramisu with it. I really like the result.. cute for party desserts and hope y'all like it too ;-)

The time I share this blog ...for all Harry Potter's fans maybe watching the last movie of Harry Potter and Deadly Hallows. I feel so sad that the journey of Harry, Ron and Hermione come to the end. Every story always have a happy ending. I'm so happy for Ron and little Hermione ...in the last book when they finally, FINALLY, figure it out!. I cannot wait to watch the movie tomorrow.... excited :)

Today I have an opportunity to make Harry Potter's cupcakes for one of my loyal customer's son....Well it's not for his birthday or his graduation... He just wants to celebrate the last of Harry Potter's movie ... how cool is that. He's huge Pottermaniac :))
