Neapolitan Baskets

The sponge cakes can be baked up to 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature. The whipped cream filling should be made no more than 2-3 hours before serving and kept refrigerated. Assemble the baskets no more than 30 minutes before serving to prevent the cream from making the cake soggy.

Once assembled, these baskets are best served immediately. If necessary, store assembled baskets in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours, loosely covered with plastic wrap to prevent absorption of refrigerator odors. The whipped cream will begin to weep and the cake will soften beyond this time. Do not freeze assembled baskets.
