Walnut Triumph
is the name of this cake.
I would usually follow this opening line with something like
"and what a delectable victory it was" or
"you'd probably be nuts if this cake does not win you over."
but maybe I'll just stick with..
"winning."

Walnut Mousse Cake |
After the preceding bright red and yellow candy-paint cake,
I felt it to be a nice contrast to bake up something a bit more sophisticated.

Walnut sponge cake, caramel mousse and caramel glaze. |
This is the kind of cake you'd expect to find selling for top dollar
in boutique patisseries, perhaps bought by "Grandes écoles" postgraduates
on their way to a dinner party at which they will drink wine out of a carafe
and smoke foreign cigarettes while discussing Plato.. or something.
But I will sell this to them with a smile because they have on some really nice
slim fitting pants with coffee stained turtlenecks and just-the-right-amount-of-worn
leather loafers.
I really do hope they'd invite me along..
I am not much of a philosopher..
But I can bake this.
