It's typical of me (and for everbody else!) to want chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. That's exactly what I had in mind when I designed this dome of a dessert. I used my favorite chocolate recipe, which produces tender, almost too soft a crumb. In order to transform what ought to have been a mere chocolate mousse cake, I racked my brain out for a fanciful way of delivering it-- most of us eat with their eyes, y'know--and uncreative nomenclator that I am, I just called it DOME.People love the ice cream-like surprise of a mousse inside and I couldn't agree more. Its play of thick chocolate cream and tender dark chocolate cake never fails to get a sigh from any chocoholic. As for it's facade, it's where I put a bit of myself--its festive appearance shows my almost too puerile attraction for confettis.
Who says you can only express yourself through art?!
