Delicious Chocolate Mousse Cake

Decorative Topping (optional)

Halloween decoration

10 grams soft butter

10 grams powdered sugar

10 grams egg white

10 grams flour

1. Mix the butter then add the powdered
sugar, add the egg white then add the flour.
Add coloring.

2. Draw your design on a sheet of paper and
place under the your parchment paper.

3. Put each color into a separate bag for
piping. Your lines should be thin but not too
thin, otherwise, they will not show up well
after baking.

4. Put this in the refrigerator for about 20
minutes so that the mixture becomes firm

I use a shallow square baking pan (27 cm x
27 cm - height is 2 cm) covered with parchment paper to pipe the decoration on.
