Cappuccino Coffee entremets: I can't stay away from you.

As always, I can't stay away from entremets, it's one of my passion even it takes 3 days to make, haha.



It's fun to crate each step of it, and see how it develop into. The moment that I finish the decoration, take a look at it, and then taste it, is one of my happiest moment.
As I always say, it's not hard to make each part but planning is a must, some of them can be made ahead of time. Like this one, you can make the cake a day before, then make the mousse the following day, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Decoration can be done just before serving ^^.
I know that I have a lot of coffee flavor entremets in my blog, haha, but I just can't stop making it each time that I see the recipes, ^^, well I have to accept that I addicted to the coffee flavor.
If you want more intense taste of coffee, serve it with hot coffee, black is a good idea too.

  2. Hi, when you said you bake the cake and then decorate the next day ... how do you store that cake until next day before decorating? At room temperature inside a box without ventilation? Or inside refrigerator? Have you also tried freezing and thawing cakes before decorating them? You think that works well and doesn't spoil the cake texture & taste?

    Lots of questions I know, but I've been following your blog since a long time and felt you're quite an expert and can help answer a beginner's curious questions! Khob khun kha ^_^

  3. Hi,Marsita yahya
    Thank you.

    Hi, Nisha
    I cover it with the plastic warp and keep it at room temperature, but if I want to keep it longer, I will cover with another layer of aluminium foil and freeze it, keeping it for 2 weeks is Ok, but longer the taste and the texture is not good (in my opinion).
    ^^, I'm happy to answer, the only reason that I don't answer is my forgetfulness.haha,

  4. Hi, i'm always a fan of yours. Just wondering if you could help clarify some questions on baking?
    1. Do you use dairy whipping cream or non-dairy ones?
    2. I've always been using parchment paper while baking. But i always face a problem. After the cake was cooled and the parchment paper removed from the base, i noticed that there's always dented lines appearing on the base of the cake. Is there any way that i can prevent that?

    Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thks^_^

  8. Hi, Swee Foong Choo
    I use dairy whipping cream. And for the paper I think remove it before it coool will prevent this ( the cake shrink after cooling).

    Hi, Anonymous
    I orders it from amazon UK.

    Hi, Tini
    Thank you.

    Hi, Anonymous
    You will need to double (or make about 1.5 quantity,) of the mousse but for the cake, just bake it it the 9 inch pan and slice it.

  12. Hi, yummiki
    It can come from the percentage of the whipping cream or the white chocolate that you use, so if you have that problem you might have to adjust the amount of the whipping cream.
