Hey Robin,
If you don't want to go through the hassles of making a real Swiss roll, I've got a fake out way of making them that you will love!
Borrow cake pans from your friends - all the same size and shape, you will need about 6 total or you can do this with 2, it will just take longer.
Use your favorite boxed cake mix, prepare as directed.
butter & LIGHTLY flour pans.
Using a ladle, ladle enough cake mix into pan so that it's about the thickness of a pancake. Spread the cake mix evenly around the pan with a spoon or spatula.
Cook for 6-9 minutes in the oven at suggested temperature (about 350) - KEEP CHECKING. They will be done when the sides darken slightly and the middle is firm.
Remove pans, cool slightly and put layer on cake/cookie rack.
When you have 5-8 layers, prepare a frosting (your choice, you may have to thin with heat or a little more water).
Frost each individual layer after you place on the previously frosted layer. When complete, frost the sides.
While this isn't a rolled cake, the appearance is the same when sliced and you can use any combination of frostings (e.g. 1 layer jam, next layer frosting, next layer whipped cream, etc.)
Every time I try to make a Swiss roll cake, I either cook the cake too long or it breaks on me while I am trying to remove it/roll it. I found that this method makes me still look like a star at 1/4 the effort.

You take your dough (I don't have the recipe, sorry) and lay it out in a flat line (like 15 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 1/4 inch thick) and then you spread your filling along the top of it. Fillings can be anything you want, but a good heavy whipped cream is ideal. When it's coated, simply roll it up and slice off pieces from the end.
Yummy!
