Love Birds Strawberry and Chocolate Mousse Engagement Cake

Two of my best friends Azzy and Omar got engaged was definitely the greatest news of the month! How wonderful it is to see how they first met, became close friends, started dating, were in a long-distance relationship because of work, now happily got engaged and going to start the next chapter of their lives together. We are all so ecstatic or them taking this exciting step together!

I have been making cakes for Azzy's birthdays, we always do and celebrate lots of things together : ) this time the cake was made for their engagement party! Azzy likes strawberries and Omar likes chocolate, this Strawberry and Chocolate Mousse Cake seemed to best match (like the couple themselves) for this special occasion ❤

As fondant would be too heavy and not suitable for a mousse cake with fresh fruits, I used tempered white chocolate for the sides, so I could put more strawberries around as decoration (strawberries and white chocolate go so well together). The party was also to welcome Omar home, this love birds design were made to surprise the couple : )

Wishing both of you all the best with the lead-up to the wedding and for the future.
