Roulade ... need help fast!

[Millie1]

It's DS2's christening tomorrow and I'm attempting a roulade for the first time ... I've made and rolled the sponge and it's cooling BUT do I fill it now (24hrs in advance) or wait til the morning ... and if I wait til the morning will it crack/break when I unroll it and it's totally cold? BTW, the filling is a marscapone/icing sugar mixture with passionfruit spread on top and I guess I'm wondering whether it'll go soggy overnight.

Anyone around to advise?

Thanks!

em not sure I've never done one with a fresh filling before. If you can keep the sponge moist (I usually roll in a damp teatowel) then I'd be temtped to wait until tomorrow. Sorry not much help really.

Have made them with whipped cream and always fill on first roll. I think it might be too hard to roll tomorrow and Im sure it wont go soggy. It will probably crack a bit but Delia says thats atrractive and shows homemade- a good drenching with icing sugar also helps!

Thanks Liz and Miggy ... meant to reply last night but having spent the day in the kitchen was to knackered! Anyway, I ended up filling it yesterday and then spent the night regretting it and worrying ... needn't have, it was absolutely lovely.

For the next time, when I roll it should I leave the teatowel wrapped around it? I put it on a cooling tray cos I thought the teatowel would sweat it.

Now am off for a slice!
