Other people say the creation of the cake was in the end of the 17th century in Siena in honor of Grand Duke Cosimo III. Anyhow， the word“tiramisu”was unknown in cookbooks before the 1960s.

Many kinds of tiramisu exist. Some cooks use other cakes or sweet in place of finger biscuits， some use no eggs at all. Wine can be added to the dessert too. It makes a special flavor.
