This was very good! I bought a sugar-free angel cake at Wal-Mart to save time (I am oh so very late making this already!!) although I had found a recipe on RZ I had intended to use to make my own. Oh, and I used the Splenda brown sugar blend for the brown sugar. It is a LOT easier to make tiramisu this way, and much healthier too which is a plus. I do think when I make this again I will double the mascarpone and cream cheese mixture. Very nice! Thanks so much for sharing, CJ, and I apologize for being late, however hectic life has been lately. ~Sue
