The flavors complemented each other very well, but insted of the "mousse" I simply made a white chocolate ganache to frost with. I also drizzled each layer with a lemon syrup I made from lemon juice and confectioner's sugar. I'll definitely use this one again!

Comments: the chocolate mousse: I took the advice of others and only put 1/2 cup of cream in with the chocolate. There is way too much cream in this recipe. Mine turned gritty the instant I began folding the stuff together. The consistency was not that of mousse either. Also, while sitting in the fridge waiting for the cake to be ready, it totally separated, and I was left with a cup of cream in the bottom of the bowl. next time I would use a lot less cream. The raspberry was fine, watch out though. It doesn't seem to thicken so you think you need more starch. But it does thicken quite a bit after. I think it needs sugar in the berries.

After tweeking this recipe the cake turned out wonderfully. I took the reviewer's advice and melted the chocolate with only 1/2 cup of cream as well, I added gelatin to the raspberry filling in order to make it firmer. It was a great hit for my daughter's first birthday. I will make this again.

The mousse is not a real recipie. It just makes running digusting whip cream. It toook me 5 hours to make and it didn't even work. The worst recipie ever!!

Tastes DELICIOUS!! I would double the raspberry filling, as I did rasp. on the bottom, then mousse, then raspberry. I also thickened up the raspberries with a little more cornstarch, so it was like a thick jam. The mousse was a little sloppy though, I think maybe if you refrigerate before you ice the rest of the cake it would go on a little smoother, esp. on the sides. Will definitely make this again.

I e-mailed this recipe to my daughter-in-law and she made it before me! She used strawberries and it was delicious!

Turned out ugly — I had trouble whipping the cream. Definitely my own fault with reading the recipe, etc. Tasted just fine — got rave reviews. Not the easiest cake to make, not a quick project.

This was just wonderful. Everyone had to have seconds, and some even thirds.

I made this for Easter dinner and it was a huge hit. It was fairly easy, and very impressive looking. Th combined flavours really complimented each other. The only problem I had was that the White Chocolate Mousse was to soft to pipe, so I would suggest melting the chocolate with only 1/2 cup of the cream instead of a whole cup. This is a real keeper for my family
