Assembly
Spread 180 g of candied lemon over the smooth side of each layer of sponge. Place in the freezer. Spread 800 g of lemon cream over one sponge layer
and then cut in half. Cut the second sponge layer into two and spread 400 g of lemon cream over one half. Stack the three half-layers topped with lemon
cream, then cover with the final half-layer keeping the soft side uppermost. Gently press down to obtain a very flat surface and place in the freezer.
Slice 4 cm tall strips then cut these strips in half. Arrange them onto the slice. Whisk the cream cheese ganache and pipe out dots in a random pattern
(approximately 80 g). Use a melon baller to make indents on some of the dots and fill with a little candied lemon. Place in the freezer again, then use a
spray gun to coat with neutral glaze diluted with 10% water. Dip the sides of the cake in the coating.
