Sponge cakes
Jam
Sherry or fruit juice
Fresh, bottled, tinned frozen or dried fruit
Jelly or gelatin
Custard
Cream

Spread the sponge cakes with jam, put them in a glass dish and soak with sherry or some of the juice drained from the fruit. Arrange most of the drained fruit on the sponge cake. Make a jelly with the remaining fruit juice using a jelly square, jelly crystals or gelatin. Allow it to cool, but not set, and then pour it over the fruit.

When the jelly is set, pour the custard over it. When the custard is set decorate with whipped cream and the remaining pieces of fruit.
