Notes

Can you make ahead of time? We do not recommend assembling these until a couple of hours before you wish to serve them. However, you can prepare the different elements the day before and keep them stored in separate containers until you're ready to make and serve the desserts.
STORE the sponge cakes, strawberries, and whipped cream in separate containers. The sponge cakes will get too soggy if they are stored with strawberries on top.
