  1. The white chocolate sponges can be made well in advance. Wrap well and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature before assembling.

  2. For the buttercream, the butter and mascarpone need to be at room temperature before whipping or the buttercream will split. If it does, warm a small portion of the mixture (about 4 tbsp) in a small pan, then mix back into the main mixture, whisking until the buttercream emulsifies. It’s best made just before using as it will harden if you chill it.
