Depending on where you live the Paillette Feuilletine maybe difficult to find and online rather pricey. 20 for 4 cups plus postage. You can substitute corn flakes or sugar cones pulverized in a food processor. The Paillette Feuilletine can use a grinding as well, so it's not too lumpy. I made it twice and found the cake layer baked the day before came out rubbery. Since you coat it with the coffee syrup you can cheat with a yellow cake mix. OMG a box mix First time in my entire life I ever bought one. You can add a 1/8 of t of almond extract. Once out of the oven to cool put the pan on top of the cake to get a level surface. Making the buttercream and the coffee syrup the day before cuts down the time considerably.

I enjoy the video and was easy to learn but the almond sponge cutter(the square and rectangular metal molds) was not necessary, and for me I will devided the almond sponge, s batter in 3 parts and I will use a knife to cut it and give a nice clean finish, to me was more complicated using the metal cutter molds( especially I have to go to Michael store 30 miles away ) we have to create easy and simple methods

I noticed, questions about paillete feuilletine, that can be order from Amazon but also you can buy from any food super market puff pastry and just cut a piece 70 g and bake, cool it and just make crumbs and mixed with the melted chocolate. Or if you are more creative you can use bran flakes cereals and you save time and less baking, nobody will notice the difference

Hello, and thank you for the recipe that I willn't delay to try: ). there's a small problem of conversion for instant coffee 1TBS = around 5g so 2 TBS = around 10g and 3 TBS = around 15g: D

OMG this incredible to pretend baking an Opera cake when there is no chocolate mirror glaze and having this amount of cream. you're far from what is French pastrie
