Pipe the whipped cream along the edges of the chiffon cake, starting from the bottom to the top and going around the sides to fully cover the cake. garnish in the centers of the cakes.
Pipe more whipped cream along the top, leaving space in the center.
Spoon the sweetened mango cubes in the center of the cakes. Repeat with the remaining cakes.
