14. Fill the mousse with red currant & raspberry white chocolate mousse and put it in the refrigerator. (It is best to fill the mousse with the mold and use a spatula to smooth the surface along the mold. Otherwise, the surface is uneven like mine, and the next day It will be especially ugly and crying during the noodles. It must be frozen overnight. I am talking about freezing, freezing, and freezing. The important thing is said three times. It is best to freeze for 24 hours. The cake will not be bright until it is completely frozen and the noodles are topped.)

16. The next day, take the cake out of the refrigerator and use a hair dryer or hot towel to heat the surface of the mold for easy demolding. The demolded cake will continue to be sent to the freezer to freeze. My cake dryer has been blown by the hot air for too long, so it melts a bit. It's ugly again (the bottom tray of the mold does not need to be removed at this time because it needs to be glaze)
