Whip the cream to soft peaks and sweeten it with the sugar. Whisk the mascarpone
cheese a bit to loosen it and fold in the whipped cream. Pour half of this mixture
over the sponge cakes and spread it out evenly. Make another layer with the tops
of the sponge cakes and drizzle them with the remaining coffee. Mix about 10 drops
of food coloring into the remaining cream mixture, enough to make it the same
yellow color as the sponge cakes. Spread this evenly over the sponge cakes.
Coarsely crush the vanilla wafers and scatter them over the top. Cover and
refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
