Son Joshua’s birthday cake. I finally made my first mirror glazed cake and learned a few lessons but in general I kind of like it.
Chocolate sponge cake filled with frozen chocolate mousse, poured chocolate mirror glaze and white spider web or nappage effect. I might have let the glaze set a bit more so it wouldn’t puddle at the base but it is frozen chocolate mousse inside and was afraid to leave it out of the freezer for too long.,
I tasted a bit of the glaze, rather light chocolate taste, I might increase the cocoa powder if I ever do another one. Still not sure of the jelly mouth feel. I used a Youtube recipe from Christine Cushing at Bonnie Gordon’s school. There is a second picture with the topper.
