Mom Tips

Don’t overbake the dough so it doesn’t dry out.

Do not over-beat the cream or it will turn into butter.

Another topping option is to coat the roulade with semi-sweet chocolate and decorate with chocolate shavings and strawberries. Once ready, sprinkle with icing sugar.

You can replace strawberries, when they are out of season, with seedless grapes in the filling and topping.
