Notes
For extra flavor, brush a thin layer of simple syrup onto the baked pastry before adding the cream. Store leftovers in the fridge covered with plastic wrap for up to two days. Avoid freezing to maintain texture. Experiment with different fruits for unique designs and flavors. Chill the assembled cake before serving to set the cream.
