ASSEMBLY

Since all our components are ready, let's finally assemble this elegant cake.

Cut the sponge in three equal layers.

Prepare simple soaking syrup by mixing 150ml of water with 1tsp vanilla essence.

Place the cake board on a turn table and put some mousse in the centre.

Place the first sponge layer on the board. Now soak it well with soaking syrup.

Put some white chocolate mousse and spread it evenly using a palate knife. Now add dollops of cherry compote (150g).

Place the second sponge layer and repeat the same above steps for layering.

Finally put the last sponge layer and secure the crumbs by crumb coating the cake.

Place the cake in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Now, take out the cake and frost the cake with a final coat of mousse.

Transfer left over mousse in a piping bag fitted with 1M nozzle.

Decorate the top edge by making roseate. Place piece of cherry from the compote in the center of each roseate.

Place white chocolate shards prepared all around the side edge of the cake. Come the look by adding some chocolate shaving on top.
