She wanted chocolate but since it was going to be very warm, and quite a few elderly friends were going to participate, we finally settled for a lemon mousse cake semifreddo. On the side we ordered a mille foglie with nutella. Both cakes were delicious and beautiful. The lemon mousse was light and refreshing with a thin layer of pan di spagna. We picked it up around 6pm, kept it in the fridge and ate it around 9pm. The nutella mille foglie was equally light and old and young loved it. The decorations were creative and pretty. Both cakes were equally good the next day when we had leftovers for lunch : . (Kept in the fridge of course.
