Gluten-Free Chocolate Mousse Cake.

A customer asked me to make a Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake for her birthday. What is Gluten-Free? Well what's Gluten? Gluten is a protein composite found in foods processed from wheat and related grain species, including barley. So when using regular flour it has wheat. It gives elasticity to dough,  helping it to rise and to keep its shape. So for those who suffer from a wheat or gluten allergy may have Coeliac Disease. Or some people just want Gluten- Free foods because they are health conscious.

So when using a Gluten -Free Flour, there is no wheat. It has rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch and whole grain brown rice flour. Now people might think it might not taste so great, but it actually taste good. It all depends how you prepare it.

This cake is a Gluten-Free Chocolate Mousse cake. Inside, Gluten-Free chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse filling and outside a chocolate fudge buttercream. Since she loves monkeys, I decided to design a monkey with pretty flowers out of fondant.
