- Arrange your choice of fresh fruits in an attractive pattern on top of the cake. Try to balance colors and shapes for a visually appealing look.
- For a glossy finish, warm the apricot jam with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Let it cool slightly, then lightly brush it over the fruits to keep them vibrant and shiny.
Chill & Serve:
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving. This helps the cream set and the layers meld beautifully. Slice with a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts for tidy servings.
Tips:
- Use firm, ripe fruits to maintain freshness and visual appeal.
- For added moisture, lightly brush the sponge layers with sugar syrup or fruit juice before adding cream.
- The sponge can be made a day ahead—wrap it well and store at room temperature. Assemble and decorate the next day for best texture.
