Chocolate Orange Mousse Dome Cake

*from cookingfantasies.com

This is probably one of the more difficult recipes I have ever made.  Mainly because there are no instructions other than watching the youtube video.  By the end of the day I had paused, started, and rewatched this video at least 100 times to get each step right.  But it was well worth it.  One of the most delicious desserts I have ever pulled off. Even though she lists the conversions for each ingredient, I suggest using a food scale for accuracy.
