Today chef showed me how to do the finishing touches on the chocolate mousse cake, as well as how to make giant chocolate curls
First white chocolate is put in a random design over an acetate strip.
The same is done with milk chocolate, after they have set up dark chocolate is spread over the top
Layers of chocolate buttermilk cake, and chocolate mousse, with a layer of ganache on top
After the chocolate has cooled slightly it is wrapped around the cake
Then it goes in the freezer for about 5 minutes, and the chocolate contracts as it cools, releasing itself from the acetate.
After the acetate is pulled off chocolate garnishes are placed on top
