Not a professional...

This weekend I tried a new recipe from my Paula Deen "Best Desserts" book (Thanks Mel!). It was Key Lime Mousse Cake. I am normally a chocolate person...I am a Wendler you know...but have a soft spot for lime and Spencer is a big lime/lemon lover so I thought this would be a good recipe to try. This cake is loaded. It has 24 oz. of cream cheese, 2 cups whipped cream, 2 cups of sugar and 10oz of white chocolate in it! Yikes! Not for the faint of heart. Since I was going to be serving this cake to guests I wanted it to be presentable. I love presentation! I spent at least 30 minutes carefully shaving white chocolate curls for the top of the cake. Toward the end of my labors my lovely and painfully honest daughter came into the kitchen to observe. After a minute of observation she patted me and said, "Don't worry Mom, the only reason hers looks better than yours is because she's a professional."....hmmm. Here are the results of my Key Lime Mousse Cake, which, by the way, was delicious to the taste.
