Critical Success Points

  • Properly hydrate the gelatin
  • Vanilla cream infusion without overheating
  • Achieve a glossy ganache before resting
  • Baking the sponge at precise temperature
  • Assembling the cake without deflating the ganache
  • Precise freezing to prevent the strawberries from freezing
  • Spraying the red dusting (very messy step)

Safety Warnings

  • Handle boiling cream carefully to avoid burns.
  • The food spray gun is pressurized; wear protective goggles.
  • Use the knife carefully when cutting the strawberries.
