Frosting the cake: I found that using a disposable plastic frosting bag (or Ziploc bag with the tip cut off) helped fill the roll cake with the lemon curd, and separately with the whipped cream into the center of the cake.
Parchment paper is so handy: Using parchment paper to help roll the cake once it has baked and been inverted to your working surface helps curl the cake so it can hold its shape while cooling, and also helps keep your hands clean!
Leftover filling: If you have leftover filling you can serve it with the cake.
Check for doneness: When the cake springs back when pressed gently, it's done.
Hide the cracks: Even though the cake seems thin, it's very pliable. Rolling and unrolling it shouldn't allow too many cracks to occur, but even if some do they can be topped with additional whipped cream.
