Tips
When it comes to ingredient substitutions, you can experiment with different flavors and textures to personalize the dessert. For example, if you're not a fan of matcha, you can try using a different flavored sponge cake, such as chocolate or vanilla. Alternatively, if you're not a fan of lemon curd, you can swap it out for a different fruit curd or jam. Get creative with the presentation by using different types of skewers or garnishes to really make the dessert your own.
