Did you watch the video? That should be helpful, for sure. I like to unroll and re-roll the cake a few times during cooling to help it keep its elasticity. I first unroll it after about 5 minutes, then after another 5 minutes, and again after another 10 minutes. From there, I might roll it out 2-3 more times after 10-15 minute intervals. You’ll also want to fill it once it’s completely cool. Don’t let it sit for several hours. I hope that helps!

Hmmm. Did you by any chance let the roll sit for a little bit after cooling? I’m wondering if that’s the issue. Once the cake roll is cool, it needs to go ahead and be filled. Don’t let it sit for a few hours first. I tried letting it sit overnight once to see how it did and it cracked all over the place. It needs to be filled just after it cools. I hope that helps!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

It should be fine for about 4-5 days in the fridge.
