CAKE ASSEMBLING
Ingredients
Mousse
Frozen sponge layer
Frozen confit layer
Caramelized nuts
1 Pour most of the mousse into the Tessellation silicone mold, spread the mousse along the sides
of the mold with a spatula, and tap the mold lightly against the table to avoid air pockets on the
cake surface.
2 Put the frozen confit layer inside the mold and press down lightly. Spread the mousse which
protrudes on the sides over the entire surface of the confit.
4 Cover the nuts with mousse and top with a sponge layer.

mold with it. At this stage, it is very important to smooth the edges of the future cake using an
offset spatula.

an offset spatula without destroying its appearance.
