I usually use a clean T Towel, Just rest your cake on it spread your butter cream on the sponge and start rolling from the end using the T towel to keep it firm. hope this helps.

When cooked turn it out on to a clean tea towel (it will be upside down) and roll it up without any buttercream in while still hot. If you keep the tea towel inside the roll - like a filling if you see what I mean - then it will not stick to itself.

You then need to let it get cold or the buttercream will melt.

When cold unroll carefully and spread the buttercream on - don't worry if it cracks a bit when you roll it back up.

Find a University student or musician. Ask them to show you how to roll a very large cigarette [cough].

Stopped many, many years ago.

But can still roll a giant swiss roll if the need arises.
