Well... this os my idea, make a half sphere of chocolate, fill it with caramel mousse and chocolate cake.... and then cover it with chocolate mirror glaze... is it possible? I mean, can i cover a chocolate dome with chocolate mirror glaze?? Or should i just make a sphere with mousse and freeze it..

And if i make a half sphere just with mousse... how long can it be outside the freezer/refrigirator?? Will it conserve its shape? 

Sorry about the grammar, spanish speaker here...

I would think the idea you describe is possible mousse needs to be kept refrigerated except for maybe 1 or 2 hrs

I don't know why you could not put a mirror glaze on a chocolate dome, but if you temper the chocolate, it will be almost as shiny without anything else added.

Tomorrow I am attempting my first ever mirror glaze, but it will be applied to a cake covered in buttercream.  I was able to get a pretty smooth finish, so I am hoping it will turn out nice.

Yikes, I am doing it!  Waiting for the glaze to cool off to 90 degrees F.  It is a chocolate mirror glaze and, to me, it looks a little lumpy and not as thin as I was expecting.  I used Liz Marek's recipe.  We will see.

Thanks, June.  We have the greatest little community of artists, but I am the only baker.  I keep everyone else plump with breads and cakes, lol.
