Mango Mousse Birthday Cake
By martinsadmin | June 9, 2009
A wonderful flavor combination for a wedding or any other special occasion is mango and raspberry. Mango is quite popular among foodies who have travelled to the Latin America and Asia and also folks who are from those regions. For my fiance’s birthday, I made a delicious birthday sheetcake for her party. Her mom is from Trinidad and she has been asking me to try this cake so I will make it for her too.
Mango Mousse Birthday Cake
Great food is made of three components: flavor, texture and color. The cake is layered with delicious white sponge cake and mango mousse and drenched in a syrup. The mousse is made from milk products and I folded in fresh raspberries. You can also use frozen fruit. The top layer is bright orange mango puree which spreads quite easily. It makes a nice topping because of its flavor and shiny texture. I used more raspberries and sugar flowers to finish the cake. It was a hit! The 1/2 sheet cake yields 36 to 48 slices depending on whether you want dessert slices or tokens. We had thirty something adults and kids at the party so there were a few leftovers that guests were more than happy to take home!
