Daddy's birthday cake - Valrhona Chocolate Mousse Cake

I took this cartoon from Angie the choice and request to be placed on their creation... Angie's fans will recognise this as Freddy.
What they did was to paint the outlines on a small chocolate disc.

Anyway, the original Valrhona Chocolate Mousse Cake is supposed to look like that but with the tender loving care of the Executive Pastry Chef, Mr. Reinhard Lackner, this cake simply melts my daddy's heart. I appreciate all the time and effort to design this cake for me.

According to Mr. Reinhard, the Valrhona Chocolate Mousse cake is a relative to a Chocolate Royal Cake. The Valrhona cake is centred with a vanilla brulee inlay. The sponge and crispy feullatine layer are similiar to their signature Modern Style Sacher Chocolate Cake. For the Chocolate Mousse, Valrhona Equatorial Couverture with 55% Cocoa content was used and of course, the cake is glazed with a very glossy dark chocolate glaze.


The texture of the mousse is so smooth, fine and rich that it tasted like chocolate ice-cream. A highly recommended chocolate mousse for chocoholics. Definitely passed my daddy's requirements in terms of chocolate mousse.

By the way, I thought that the sugar can still be reduced slightly but apart from that, this cake is too perfect for any criticism nor comments. Anyway, this 1kg cake costs $50+ ($53.50 including 7% GST).
