NOTES AND ADVICE :

You can prepare the biscuit a day earlier as well, when it cools, wrap it in transparent foil and put it in the fridge.

This cake can be prepared for birthdays or other occasions, just decorate it in another way.

Food colour is not obligatory in the cake.

You can put nuts into the filling instead of pistachios .
