I used homemade crepes & had to make homemade ladyfingers. I was already baking the cake for the ladyfingers when I realized I had made an angel food instead of sponge cake but I think it tasted just fine in the end. The filling itself I thought was pretty bland & could use a bit more chocolate, but once it was rolled up in the crepes with the "ladyfingers" it was very nice. Besides having to make two recipes before I could make this one, it's a quick & easy dessert to whip up & looks fabulous plated. Thanks for sharing your creation, Wildflour! Made for Hidden Gems.
