        This recipe was bomb! I used claire saffitz sponge cake for that part instead which worked out wonderfully and was quite forgiving. The steps take time but are completely worth it. I would definitely recommend splurging for the vanilla beans for the icing. My favorite part was the mango curd. Can’t wait to try the other variations of this some other time!

          Can other fruit be substituted for the mango? If so, what would work best? Thanks!

            THIS CAKE! Cannot recommend these recipes enough! They are not too sweet, moorish and look spectacular. The recipe is written beautifully and includes all the critical point. The sponge comes out perfect, every time! BRAVO! I will make these cakes until the day I die! Well done!

              This cake is a show-stopper. I made it for Thanksgiving this year and it absolutely wowed with its incredible flavor and beauty. I followed directions exactly as written and my cake turned out exactly as pictured. This cake was fairly labor intensive but absolutely worth it (take the authors advice and make some things ahead of time).
