Blueberry and White chocolate Mousse cake 蓝莓白巧克力慕斯蛋糕

This was the Birthday cake that I made for my daughter few weeks ago. The idea of this cake came from Jane. She tried a nice cake from a famous bakery shop during her trip to Seoul. After she described to me the taste, and I made few research, then I came out with this mousse cake which well received by everyone who was tasted!

 

I still like to see a "naked" cake like this ^_^, and also like this way of decorating a cake..

 

the making process..

 

My kid's favourite pet also celebrated together ^_^

 

 

Using the same recipe, next time I can also make into raspberry & etc..

I was tried to have the same height of each level, thus I have some leftover of blueberry mousse. If you wish to try this recipe, maybe you can only make 75% of the blueberry mousse. And I especially love the white chocolate mousse which was not overly sweet !
If you don't have a microwave oven to melt the white chocolate, you can use double boiler method. Melt the white chocolate over a bowl of simmering hot water. Once you see the white chocolate started to melt but not totally melt, remove the pan immediately, then stir with the remaining heat to melt the chocolate. If you keep over hot water for too long, it tend to splits.
