Attach the sides
Cut the decorative sponge strips between each pattern, trim them to the size of the inner mold wall, and press them against the inside wall.

Fill
Fill with the filling (such as sponge and cream, or chilled Bavarian cream).
5
Top it
Cover the top of the sponge or Bavarian cream with the fruit mirror glaze (see page 291).
