Cooking Steps

1. 

   Step1:Prepare an 8-inch Qifeng cake embryo.

2. 

   Step2:Slice Qifeng cake from the middle. Cut 3 pieces for standby. Up to 2 pieces can be used.

3. 

   Step3:Start making mousse paste. Put the gelatine powder into a small basin. Pour in pure water for a while. The gelation of the gelatine powder is faster than that of the gelatine tablet.

4. 

   Step4:Heat and hydrate the gelatine powder. Add the milk and mix well.

5. 

   Step5:Add cream to sugar and beat until it reaches 6. The side with lines can flow slowly through the basin. (remember - do not beat to hard foaming, otherwise the mousse surface will be uneven.)

6. 

   Step6:Mix the milk and the gelatine powder into the whipped cream and mix well. The mousse is ready.

7. 

   Step7:Lay a layer of cut cake on the bottom of the 8-inch mold.

8. 

   Step8:Pour in some mousse. From the center of the cake.

9. 

   Step9:Spread the second cake. Pour in the remaining mousse paste. Still pour from the center of the cake. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Touch the surface of mousse layer with your hands. Do not stick your fingers. Otherwise, the mirror will not be transparent. (mousse paste should not be too thick or the surface of mousse layer will be uneven. It should not be too thin. If mousse paste is thin, it can be refrigerated for a few minutes.)

10. 

    Step10:Cherry Blossom can't be soaked for too long or too short. If you soak too long, the color will disappear. Cherry Blossom should be treated before making cake.

11. 

    Step11:The water temperature should be a little hotter than the body temperature. The hand test water temperature is a little hotter. Carry the dried flowers and wash them in the water like a mop. This can make the flowers bloom completely. It can also wash the salt from the flower center. The second time the water temperature is lower than the first time. It can be warm. Then change it into cold water for 4-5 hours.

12. 

    Step12:Pour sprite into a small bowl in advance to release bubbles. Otherwise, the mirror will have small bubbles that are not transparent enough.

13. 

    Step13:Refrigerate the mousse layer and start making mirrors. Soak the gelatin in water.

14. 

    Step14:The heat insulation and hydration of the soaked gilding sheet. Add sprite. Pour it into the mold. Put the soaked cherry blossom. Shake it gently in the mirror to make the petals bloom. The flower shape will be better.

15. 

    Step15:Put the flowers in the refrigerator for 3 hours. The beautiful cherry blossom mousse is ready (if you want a thicker mirror, you can omit the previous step 9, that is, only one layer of cake).
