Picked up the ordered double chocolate mousse cake for my Mom's birthday. This is the dessert of the 3 course meal we are having for the birthday dinner.
A flourless chocoate cake with a huge layer of dark? chocolate mousse and a thiner layer of white chocolate mousse and topped with a dark choclate ganache and some nice cholate bits. Writing done on top.
You can definitely get 8 healthy servings or 12 more portion controlled serving out of the mid-sized 8"in cake here. I think 6 servings would be far too much sugar in one sitting.
The chocolate mousse is rich and creamy and I prefer the dark mousse but the white is good for contrast. The thin cake layer on the bottom was moist and tasty.
Overall a good very good chocolate mousse cake but need to hear how my Dad's sugar level is tomorrow to see if we would do this more regularly for special occassions.
I have been looking for a new bakery for the special occassion cakes after the issue with the Cake Shop last year.
Did not see cakes on display on my visit but asked about it and was given a list. My eyes immediately went to the double chocolate mousse cake but they also had cheesecake, carrot cake, black forest cake and a bunch of other types.
Pricing as follows (need to check tomorrow):
6.5 in 3-4 people $20
8 in 6-8 people $32
10? in 10-12 serv $50
The largest sized cake need 7 day advance notice. I asked if it is possible to get the mid-sized double chocolate mousse cake for the next day i.e. 24 hrs notice for my Mom's Bday. The staff checked with Kevin and he said it was possible so thumbs up for that :D
