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.
