Want to throw a party or a buffet, but don't know what appetizers to serve? What about sweet appetizers? We suggest you prepare dessert canapes from sponge cake with cheese cream based on mascarpone and cherries.

Sponge canape with mascarpone and cherries - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, frozen cherries work well! Just thaw and drain excess liquid before cooking to prevent the jam from becoming too watery.
Cream cheese or ricotta (strained for thickness) are great alternatives, though the texture and flavor will be slightly different.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. For best freshness, add powdered sugar and berries just before serving.
Absolutely! Use a gluten-free sponge cake or almond flour-based cake layers for a delicious gluten-free version.
Reduce the cane sugar in the jam or use tart cherries. You can also omit the powdered sugar garnish for a less sweet finish.
Freezing isn't recommended as the texture of the sponge and cream may change. Instead, freeze components separately (like the jam) and assemble later.
Strawberries, raspberries, or figs work beautifully—adjust cooking time for the jam based on the fruit's juiciness.
Use a serrated knife and gently saw through the cake layers. Briefly chilling the cake can also help.
Yes! Substitute mascarpone with coconut cream (chilled and whipped) and use dairy-free butter for the caramel.
Arrange on a platter with varied toppings (e.g., mint leaves, chocolate drizzle) for visual appeal. Keep skewers handy for easy grabbing!
