As promised, here’s my recipe for the heart-shaped mousse cake for Valentine’s Day! It’s incredibly soft and tastes absolutely amazing. The berry layer adds a fruity tang, the mousse is creamy and light, and the mirror glaze gives it a stunning finish. I decorated mine with edible gold and flowers, but feel free to get creative with your decorations. Enjoy! 💖
