VITA Tips

  • ✦The cake must be completely cool before adding the mousse — warmth will dissolve the gelatin and prevent it from setting.
  • ✦Do not boil the gelatin; heat it just until liquid for maximum setting power.
  • ✦For a cleaner slice, dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts.
