Critical Success Points

  • Achieve a ribbon‑like genoise batter (step 1)
  • Bake until a clean knife test (step 2)
  • Fully cool the pastry cream before folding (step 10)
  • Fold whipped cream gently to keep the diplomate airy (step 12)
  • Allow the assembled cake to chill at least 6 hours (step 16)
  • Apply the strawberry glaze while warm and let it set (step 18)

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot syrup and boiling milk with care to avoid burns
  • Use oven mitts when removing the hot cake pan
  • Do not consume raw gelatin; ensure it is fully dissolved
  • Use a sharp knife cautiously when cutting the genoise
