Advance Preparations

Prepare Basler Dacquoise Sheet; use a large metal spatula to free it from the baking sheet, to lift under it and to remove it to a large rack to cool. If you are assembling dessert the next day, lift it back onto baking sheet after it is completely cool and cover it with aluminum foil.
