I second Google Docs. Not only can you access them via the web, - Dawn_MO - 2:40pm on 10/11/11

20652. ISO info about Mousse inside a cake - Tessie in Cincy - 9:41pm on 10/10/11 (5)

It would kind of depend on her recipe and how "fluffy" she wants it to be. The mousse recipe I use - Steve2 in LA - 10:34pm on 10/10/11
The mousse will deflate unless the cake layers are very thin, and maybe even then. Gelatin is added - Meryl - 10:35pm on 10/10/11
