Tips

Substituting ingredients is a great way to customize and experiment with flavors in your desserts. For example, if you don't have passion fruit coulis, you can try substituting it with mango puree or raspberry sauce for a different burst of fruity flavor. If lavender is not readily available, try using rosewater or lemon zest in the sponge cake for a refreshing twist. Additionally, if matcha macarons are not to your liking, you can replace them with pistachio or hazelnut macarons for a different nutty flavor. Don't be afraid to get creative and switch things up to make the dessert truly your own.
