Trying Something New

Over the past few days, I’ve been seeing many posts about mousse cakes on social media. The cakes look delicious and beautiful but look very complicated to make. The cakes are made by pouring mousse into silicone molds and laying different mousses, fillings and cakes in the mold to create a unique center.

I purchased different types of silicone molds and found a good-looking mousse recipe and started my journey. My cake would have three layers: A center of Nutella, a layer of chocolate mousse and a layer of hazelnut mousse. I had to use three different molds, one for each layer.

The cake was not as difficult to make as I originally expected but was time consuming. The flavor of the mousse cake was good but was too sweet for my tasting. I definitely plan on attempting to make these mouse cakes again but next time I plan on making a fruity flavor.
