Thursday came and went, but not before I cut into this sweet baby! Mmmm Mmmm Delicious! I went to visit my dear friend Ginny today and was honoured by a lovely lunch! Thank you Ginny!! This was our dessert and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Who doesn't have Chocolate Mousse in common? ;) LOVEY!!
This is a stacked Jaconde Chocolate Mousse Torte my friends!! I will give you a step by step so you can see all the work that went into this little 6" beauty. :)
We first created our Jaconde Sponge Cake. This is a 1/4 inch thick cake that we stacked together with the Ganache being its "glue". :) It's made with almonds and to create the "stack" you bake it on a full sheet and then cut out your rectangle and sphere for your Cake Ring Mold. The sphere will be the bottom of your cake and the rectangular pieces get cut inot small 1/4" stacked pieces that will go around the enitre inner shpere that is being held inside with some acetate plastic wrapping:
Cool this in the refrigerator and then fill the top up with Chocolate Ganache. Place it back into the refrigerator and let the Ganache cool. Once it is completely cooled down, you can unmold the cake by pushing it up from the bottom:
That is Andrea and Rhett :)
And here are Lulu and Daphne messing with all our rings ;) We try to have some fun in all of this ;).
Have a great night everyone!! Tomorrow is our Free Day so my group is going to wrap up a Ribbon Sponge Mousse cake we created today! Mango, Strawberries... Mmm yummy! Can not wait to taste it!
Looking forward to a drama free weekend!!! See you here tomorrow!!
