Arranging The Final Cake

  • Take out all the components from the fridge. Ganache must come to room temperature so take it out early. Others can be taken out at the time of assembling.
  • Slice the cake into two squares or rectangles and then cut it horizontally into two layers. This can be done easily with a chilled cake. You will save a lot of work if you refrigerate the cake.
  • Place a layer on the cake board or a serving plate and add some dark chocolate mousse. Wait! Before you add the filling pipe a thick line of the ganache across the four sides. That is what I forgot.
  • Now place another layer of cake and add the orange mousse. Do not forget to add the ganache dam.
  • Now place the third layer of the cake and add the dark chocolate mousse again. Again do not forget to add the ganache dam.
  • Now place the final layer on the top and apply ganache all over the cake. This first layer serves as the crumb coat and helps in a neat looking cake. Place this in fridge for 15 minutes before adding the second layer of ganache.
  • Now with a clean spatula add another layer of ganache and cover all the sides. You don't have to be perfect in finishing.
  • With the help of a spatula, make wavy lines on top.
  • Now make wavy lines on the sides.
  • Decorate the top with edible silver beads.
  • Before slicing chill the cake for 15 minutes.
  • Sugar-1/2 tbs
