Tips:
1. The preparation of the cake base adopts the method of Japanese sponge cake, which is easier to send compared to the sponge cake that is usually whipped with whole eggs;
2. Bavarian whipped cream, to put it bluntly, is actually a mousse liquid, don’t be scared by this tall name~
3. When assembling the cake, stitching is indispensable, pay attention to the stitching tightly and don't leave gaps, otherwise the mousse liquid may overflow in the end;
4. For cakes decorated with fruits on the surface, it is best to apply a layer of transparent mirror pectin to prevent oxidation of the fruits~
