Hi Maria! The best mousse that I’ve ever had was one of those once-in-a-lifetime sort of occurances. Something that cannot and will likely ever not repeat itself again. I was just fortunate enough to know the right people, and happen to be at the right place at the right time.

I won’t go into too much detail here but suffice to say the restaurant was short lived, the chef (once a household name) I don’t believe is doing restaurant work anymore and this mousse was only ever made once in the fashion that I had it.

Perhaps material for a post on mousse? I’ll save the details of the full story until then :)

Though the mousse cake isn’t going to make a comeback for a while (if at all) keep an eye out for anything Zumbo makes with a blackberry chocolate mousse. Who knows, it could be even better than the chocolate mousse cake!

That is a truly incredible cake, and your pretty luckily to have tasted it. I would swap you in a heartbeat if I could!

Thanks! The cake was plenty sexy without the music :)

Hi fooderati! Thanks dude. Thanks for organising the lottery :)

Hi Steph! Wow, learned new acronym :P

Thanks! Certainly worth it the first time around :)

Hi Rilsta! Yeah, lottery is a bit of a funny word to use in this context.

Very mercantile of you to sell off cake minus one slice for the price you would have paid :)

Hi Iron Chef Shellie! I’ve seen some expensive cakes in my time but this is certainly the most expensive one I’ve put money towards.

Hi Belle! Glad you enjoyed the ride! :)

If a restaurant sold that cake, I’d sure they’d charge something like $20 for it, just because they can.

Hi Helen! Now looks who is paying close attention to the post…? :P

Yes, it was the second best. It’s a little underwhelming to put it that way, sure. However, you have no idea how brilliant the best mousse was. I’ll probably be telling that story to grand children. Poor little guys…

To be fair, Zumbo does come close.

Eating a slice of history? What are you, George’s script writer?

Hi Simon! Thanks :)

If I was a part of the first batch to pick up and not the last, you may have a shot at getting your hands on the cake if there is any last minute cancellations, like when I’d gotten mine.

Hi Zina! Sorry to hear that you’d not heard back yet, as well as the lost cakes. I’m glad mine made it home in one piece. It was the slowest and most anxious drive home ever.

Hi Yas! Like I said in the post, it was worth it the first time around. Beyond that I agree with you. If I had more disposable income though… :)

Hi Lex! Yours was the best free hotdog and coke I’ve ever had! Glad you enjoyed the cake. Had a lot of fun that day! :)

Hi Fiona! Oh hey! Nice work! :)

I’ve love to know what you thought of the cake, either here or on twitter.

Hi Moya! Thanks! Glad you liked the post :)

Hi FFichiban! Props to you for coming with myself and Lex. Eventually…

See what you would have missed out on if you didn’t cave to incessant pestering?

Hi deeba! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Yes, that cake was something special :)
