Egg White Success: Ensure bowl and beaters are completely clean and grease-free for proper whipping volume in sponge.
Gelatin Technique: Bloom gelatin properly and dissolve completely to prevent lumpy texture in smooth bavarian cream.
Temperature Control: Cool all components completely before assembly to prevent melting and maintain structure.
