[quote=Anonymous]I make a couple every year. I do it in bits and pieces. I made the meringues for the mushrooms this past weekend. I made the buttercream frosting a few days ago and froze it (that works with buttercream, might not work with other frostings). I often make the jelly roll in advance and freeze it (I use jam for the filling since the frosting is so rich, so it freezes well). Then all I need to do is assemble it and decorate when it's time to serve it. None of the individual parts takes long but it might be more daunting to try to do it all at once. The sponge cake is super easy to make but you do need a good pan. I find that a silpat liner is also really useful, although parchment works too. Definitely roll it up in a tea towel. Unroll very carefully to fill with jam or frosting. It might crack when you unroll it but that doesn't show after it's been rerolled. Also you cut the ends off the log before frosting so you don't need to worry about cracks on the edge.[/quote]
