What I would do is spread the mousse over each layer, and chill them separately
to let the mousse firm up, THEN assemble.  We've done Dobos Torte this way, seven
layers of paper-thin sponge cake with the DCM [Deadly Chocolate Mousse] in
between.

More Chocolate!  Face the Peril!  Maybe that's what I'll do on the 4th of July,
make chocolate goodies and bring some of the Guinness Cake in case I meet up with
Padraig at Westercon on Friday.
