Great presentation - fun to make! Added PeePs to the eggs and it added to the fun!

The recipe called for 3 beaten eggs, but in the directions it says egg yolks, so I had already used the whole egg. The cake didn't raise very much at all. I probably waited too long to put the chocolate strip around the cake, but mine did crack. It does look pretty, but I am not sure how well you will be able to cut through chocolate rim when you are ready to serve it.

This is very rich. The texture didn't turn out as smooth as I'd like, and the recipe is fairly time-consuming.

It turned out beautiful! Defnitely be sure you set aside plenty of time to work on this, it takes some focus, but it is well worth it. I prepared the cake part earlier in the day, then later I did the mousse and finished it.

I have not made the torte itself, but I took the idea for the nest and used it on cupcakes. Turned out really cute!
