Notes
Tips:
- Mascarpone-based creams are a great choice for summer — they’re more heat-stable than classic whipped cream.
- Always let your cake layers cool completely before adding your cream to avoid melting.
- For a wow effect, combine two types of creams: a light one for the filling and a firmer one for the frosting.
- Feel free to customize each cream with fruit purées, curds, spreads, or natural extracts.
