Peach and Orange Mousse Cake

Another cake for my boyfriend, this one for his 28th birthday. Again I wanted to stay away from fondant, and again I decided to tackle my arch nemesis: gelatine.

If I saw that at a party, I wouldn't want to eat it! It looks too pretty!

If I saw it at a party i'd steal it, sit in a closet and eat it all myself. :o)

[phyllis7609]

Well, maybe I'd share with one of you.

Thanks so much!

I don't eat gelatine myself but this looks beautiful! Well done :)

[rhiannon_666]

Oh that's interesting. Is it an allergy or a preference thing? I've never investigated, but out of curiosity is there anything you can use as a substitute?

[ellig123]

I'm a vegetarian :) There are jelly substitutes, although I haven't really tried using them. Maybe I ought to experiment!

[rhiannon_666]

Maybe I should, too! There's so many people with different food preferences and allergies you always have to have an alternate ready.

That looks so beautiful and delicious! I'm dying to try out the recipe for myself. Thanks so much for sharing!

[rhiannon_666]

Awesome. Let me know how it goes. :)

It's a pretty forgiving recipe. I thought I'd have issues with it setting because of a gelatine clumping drama I had (I amended the methods in the recipe I posted from their technique to my usual one which helps to avoid that issue) but it was fine. Though next time I'll use gelatine leaves. I just find them easier to manage.
