    Assembly

    Cut 3 strips that are 41 cm in length and 6 cm wide and use them to line the circles. Cut out 6 round 12 cm sponges.
    Place a layer of sponge in the bottom and pipe 50 g of strawberry jam on top. Then, add 100 g of orange mascarpone cream.
    Insert 120 g of strawberries, cut in halves.
    Cover with a second layer of sponge, pipe 40 g of strawberry jam, and then 80 g of orange mascarpone cream on top.
    Smooth with a palette knife and place in the fridge.
    Whip the cream for decorating, make a ring (using a No.7 rose petal tip) on top of the sponge.
    Arrange the strawberries and add a few dots of the jelly between them.
    Spread the strawberry couverture on a 3 cm x 43 cm acetate strip and comb it with a brush.
    Spread the white chocolate couverture over the top and stick the acetate to the sponge at the bottom of the cake.
    Press lightly then leave to crystallise before removing the acetate.
