[Sca-cooks] Recipe: The Cake That Woke Up Cleveland*

[Pixel, Goddess and Queen]

I've never done it this way, but you could try making a shorter cake--if
you took one regular layer and torted it, the top layer would probably be
light enough to not squoosh the mousse out the sides, and then you could
just run the buttercream up past the top edge of the cake to hold the
mousse in.
