Hi Yochana, I thought of trying your rainbow swiss roll recipe. Just wondering, can I substitute the optima sponge mix using normal flour? Thanks.
Hi choo
Optima flour is a mixture of flour, sugar and emulsifier but I don't know their proportion. You can actually use any swiss roll recipe that doesn't require optima flour but use the idea to make into a colourful rainbow.

Hi Yochana's,
You sure are a wonderful cook. Everything looks so good.
May I have the recipes for the Papaya Swiss Roll and the Pandan Swiss Roll? They look so yummy!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Yochana
I tried the pear swiss roll today, its now chilling in the fridge. I used a 10" by 10" tray. When rolling, I notice the center of the roll cracked a little. Could this be because I put too much pear filling? or the cake was too thick? or I over beat the mixture?
Thanks in advance for the advice! :)
Hi Angela,
There could be an overbending action. I need to see a picture of your swiss roll then only I can comment whether the fillings are too much or the sponge is too thick.

Hi Lucy,
I tried to make this Pear Swiss Roll today. The sponge is a bit too hard. What happen? Did I overbeat the eggs? And I used a 39.5cmx27cm pan so the sponge turned out to be very thin also.
When I rolled the swiss roll, which way should I roll it, I should hold the 27cm and roll or hold the 39.5cm to roll? Overall it did not look nice but it taste quite good. THank you.
