Chocolate Berry Mousse Cake (FINALS!)

I made a chocolate berry mousse cake for my final. I also made three french pastries: lilikoi curd tart with italian meringue, lemon cheesecake dome and a mango saint honore. Yes, that was my final. I got to bake stuff. Whaaaaaat?! Yeah it's crazy (and awesome), because test taking simply sucks.

No bubble tests for me! (Aside from menu merchandising, but that's okay).

It's all over now and I couldn't be happier.

Wanna see my finals? ;)

This was my final cake. What's inside?

Chocolate truffle

Black magic cake

Blackberry mousse

Dacquois

Vanilla mousse

White Chocolate mousse

And it's topped with chocolate glaze and an assortment of pretty thangs :)

These were my French pastries, (from left): Mango saint honore, lemon cheesecake dome (with strawberry mousse inside), lilikoi curd tart with torched Italian meringue

Overall, the final went well. We did have a little written test, too. I'm pleased with my grade and even more pleased now that the school year is over! 

I'd love to show you how to construct my final mousse cake. I'll need to make a drawing or something! I swear, learning how to construct cakes like this has made my brain explode--with so many magical ideas! The possibilities are endless! So, I'll make sure to include a demo/full recipe soon :)

HAPPY SUMMER WORLD!
