Step 3: Assemble the Cake
Place the cooled sponge layer inside a cake ring or keep it inside the pan.
Pour mousse evenly over the sponge.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).
This step is crucial — the mousse must fully set before adding glaze.
Step 4: Prepare the Mirror Glaze
Bloom gelatin in water.
Heat sugar, water, and condensed milk in a saucepan.
Remove from heat and stir in gelatin.
Pour mixture over chopped white chocolate and mix until smooth.
Add purple coloring.
Let it cool to about 90°F (32°C) before pouring.
Pour glaze over the chilled cake in one smooth motion for a glossy finish.
