The sweet craze that's been spurred by social media, especially Instagram, shows no signs of slowing down. One of the most popular trends is the "mirror glazed" mousse cake, a cake that looks as if it's covered in mirrors. The luxurious marble-like texture is coated with a reflective coating, and topped with fruit and other ingredients, making it a cake that's not only unpredictable in appearance but also in taste.
"I use only natural ingredients: cream, milk, fruit, and the finest chocolate. These ingredients allow me to create a unique balance of textures and flavors," says Ksenia Penkina, a Russian-born pastry chef currently based in Canada. She's one of the most sought-after mirror-glazed cakes. Kesenia has been making mousse cakes since she was a child, honing her skills by studying at schools and with chefs around the world. She currently teaches cake-making herself. However, her passion for dessert creation continues, and she continues to visit and learn from the world's top chefs, honing not just one technique but a variety of dessert-making skills. When asked what motivates her, Kesenia replied, "I love bringing my ideas and designs to the dessert world and having them recognized. And the greatest motivation comes from being a teacher, seeing my students learn the process and see the joy they experience when they complete their creations."

The Mirror Glazed Mousse Cake is an unforgettable experience from the first bite. You first taste the soft mousse and vibrant fruit layers, followed immediately by a creamy layer, and finally the exquisite sponge and crunch. It's a unique dessert that allows you to enjoy all of this in one bite.
