Cocoa mousse cake

Cocoa mousse cake

Overview

November 7th is my birthday. It’s my first time to make a cake for myself. I still feel very good about myself. Hehe, are you narcissistic? ? It is necessary to increase confidence in yourself. A year has passed so quickly, and I have become one year older. Time can really be described as flying by. I hope I can be happy every day and not grow old. This cake was made in advance yesterday. I have been very lazy recently, and I wanted to skip it, but I thought it only happened once a year, so I decided to make one to celebrate myself. It took me more than 2 hours to make it. Although it was hard work, I was very excited. I always feel happy every time I make a cake. Cake always gives people a very sweet and happy feeling. Do you feel the same way as me? Sprinkle with cocoa powder for a sweet and bitter blend. This is the enjoyment of famous Italian desserts
