    Spread the cake with redcurrant compote and chill. Whip the cream with 50 g icing sugar until stiff and finally pour in the cream firming agent. Spread about half of it on the cake and fill the rest of the cream in a piping bag with star-shaped spout.

    Spread the biscuits on the cake. Mix lemon juice with 125 g icing sugar to a glaze and coat the biscuits with it. Decorate the cake with the rest of the cream and chill overnight. Wash the remaining currants, dab dry and cut the panicles into smaller panicles. Decorate the cake with the panicles.
