Tips

To make this recipe vegan-friendly, you can substitute the regular sponge cake with a vegan-friendly version made with non-dairy milk and vegan butter. Instead of using mascarpone cream, you can make a creamy cashew-based filling for a rich and smooth texture. For those who are gluten-free, swap out the traditional wheat-based sponge cake for a gluten-free alternative made with almond flour or a combination of gluten-free flours. Additionally, you can use dairy-free chocolate curls for garnishing and choose edible flowers that are free from pesticides and chemicals for a healthier option.
