Mango Raspberry Mousse cake

This is a beautiful Mango Raspberry mousse cake I made. 

To make this cake I made a thin short bread crust, that I cut out with I cake ring.  Then you dock and bake the crust.   Let it cool and as its cooling make a mango mousse with a mango puree.  I then layered into the same cake ring the baked short bread crust.  I put a layer of raspberry preserves, then I started piping in the mango mousse.  After I had a base of mango mousse I layered in some fresh raspberries.  Making sure not to get any near the edge of the ring.  So that on un-molding the edges of the cake would not be marred by berries showing.  I place that in the refrigerator to set, I left about 1//8 th of an inch of space from the top.  When that had set, I poured in a mango gelee and let that set in the refrigerator.

Once the whole cake was set I removed the ring, garnished/decorated with fresh raspberries, and butterflies cut out of mango slices.

Using a sharp knife and hot water I cut it in to slices for serving.
