Piece of Cake

Today's my brother's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!) and I told him he could pick a cake from the cookbooks I got for my birthday. So what does he do: he picks a white chocolate mousse cake, a cake of the most difficult category... It doesn't quite look like the picture from the book (the custard is nowhere to be found), but my dad, aunt and Steven said it tasted good...

Here the custard mix is still visible

A dab of whipped cream, some chocolate curls...

...et voilá
