Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi
I’ve been asked to make a fresh cream gateau with a vanilla sponge.

Anyone got a good recipe? Needs to be more a melt in your mouth type cream cake 🙂

Hi shari76

To make melt in the mouth gateau slice your sponge cake into thin layers, brush simple syrup on each layer and fill with jam, double cream or cream cheese. The thin layers will absorb the moisture from the fillings and have a very light mouth feel. Mrs Jones’ vanilla sponge recipe is very light and would be most suitable. See it here http://www.cakeflix.com/online-cake-decorating-courses/mrs-joness-recipe-for-10-round-deep-sponge-cake or you could use a good genoise sponge recipe. There are many recipes for this sponge online.

Thanks so much
Will try that 🙂 x
