Chocolate cake from a local bakery.

It was good just way too sweet/rich.

Bakery cakes are always too sweet. Especially the icing.

Agreed.  That's why we get Tiramisu instead.  Less icing, more whipped cream.

Crazy enough Ihe icing on most cakes have always seemed a little too sweet for me even as a kid. Makes me sick just looking at one sometimes.

What kind of Tiramisu has whipped cream on it?

If it's not a king cake, it's nowhere near too sweet.

You need to find a better tiramisu.

I like it.  Sure it isn't made the traditional way, but so what?  I'm just thankful they don't slather on a thick slab of chocolate icing like they do their eclairs & cream puffs.  Gakk!

A cake like tiramisu, or its rum-cake predecessors, has a fairly complex palette, and covering it with whipped cream is most likely a sign that the cake is missing something.

Yep, it's missing amaretto or brandy.  I've had the real thing at a few Italian Restaurants and of course, it was much better.  But I'm not anywhere near a decent Italian place now, those that I'm near only have cannoli.
