Last week was my favorite aunt’s Birthday and we celebrated her 54th year on earth with coffee & cake in her garden.
My mom and I made this oh-so-delicious, but oh-so-full-of-calories (but-who-cares-it’s-declious) “cake”. It’s not really a cake, as you don’t have to bake it. So, we just named it berry bomb. ;)

This is my wonderful mom, holding the cake bomb. I just love the color of her shirt as a background for the cake. Beautiful! Both my mom (even though she didn’t want to show her face) & the berry bomb!
Remember the cake stand from somewhere? Here’s the tutorial, if you want to recreate! ;)
I’m partying here! ♥
{mixed berry mascarpone bomb}

By
Published:- Yield: 1 cake (8 Servings)
- Prep:
full of delicious calories! ;) Recipe via “we love living” magazine 5⁄12
Ingredients
- 1 package ladyfingers
- about 1 cup dessert wine (vino santo)
- 1 cup mascarpone
- 1 1⁄3 cups greek yogurt
- 4 tbsp. powdered sugar
- 1 vanilla bean
- blueberries
- raspberries
- strawberries
- red currants
- blackberries
Instructions
- Mix mascarpone, yogurt, powdered sugar and vanilla bean seeds in a bowl.
- Dip each ladyfinger in dessert wine for just 3–5 seconds (letting them soak too long will cause them to fall apart).
- In a separate bowl, line the sides and bottom with the soaked ladyfingers.
- Now add the mascarpone mixture and washed berries in layers and top off with the remaining ladyfingers.
- Cover the berry bomb with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3–4 hours. Better even overnight.
- Before serving, turn over & decorate with the remaining berries. Then dust with powdered sugar.
- Skill Level: Easy

Mittwoch, der 15. August 2012 at 22:21Wow!! Looks wonderful! I’ve got to try this! Pinned it for later. Also, did you know it is super easy to make your own Mascarpone Cheese? All you need is cream and lemon juice. Hope on over to my blog for the recipe, http://pintsizedbaker.blogspot.com/2012/08/homemade-mascapone-cheese-and-tarts.html
Enjoy!

Freitag, der 17. August 2012 at 01:44This looks amazing! Is it the refrigeration that makes it keep it’s shape when you flip it out of the bowl?
Vanessa @ {nifty thrifty things}
Samstag, der 18. August 2012 at 23:56Thank you so much! :)
Yes, the refrigeration keeps it all together. I love that there’s no baking involved and it still has the look of a cake!

Donnerstag, der 23. August 2012 at 04:28Oh my God you are torturing me! Another berry dessert — now you know how much I love berries1 Is that your Mom wearing the blue dress holding the bomb. Bomb doesn’t seem to fit his dessert, since it is so pretty. This looks like a professional made it. I know you’ve been fooling us and you really have a bakery staff in the back room, right? I’ve been canning all day, and I so could use a piece of this lusciousness! NO berry next week — stop torturing me!! Just kidding! Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success!
Vanessa @ {nifty thrifty things}
Sonntag, der 26. August 2012 at 19:07Thank you so much for your sweet comment love, Cathy! ;)
