six in a row on a flat serving plate .
Carefully cover lady fingers with about 1/3 of the marscapone mixture.
Place another layer of ladyfingers, this time in the opposing direction on top . Again Cover with about 1/3 of marscapone on top, repeat with the final layer side by side, opposing direction, and top with remaining marscapone
