Assemble
1. Prepared a 7" silikomart epclise mould. (may use 6-inch springform pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper/plastic wrap, in order to make the mousse-filled cake easier to remove from the pan).
2. Pipe a thin layer of the white chocolate mousse into the mould. Gently place the gelee over the mousse, as centred as possible.
3. Pipe the lemon cheese mousse at center (dont pipe to the edge)over the gelee layer gently place the joconde layer on top followed by crunchy disc, pressing gently just so the mousse covers the sides of the cake, and the pipe the white chocolate mousse at the edge of the mould. Flatten the surface.
4. Wrap the mould in plastic wrap, freeze the cake to set it, at least 4 hours or overnight.
5. Prepared a 9cm semi circle mould. Spoon 1-2 tbsp blueberry mousse into the mould. Gently place the 1" cake into the mould. Spoon another 1-2 tbsp blueberry mousse and gently place the 2.5" cake over the mousse. Spoon the last 1-2 tbsp blueberry mousse and flatten the surface.

Spoon 10 tbsp into another clean small bowl as white color glaze. Add blue food coloring into the remaining glaze and stir well. Each lets wait the temperature reduce to 35C.
7. To remove the cake: remove it from the freezer. For eclipse mould, gently pull out from the silicon mould. For the springform pan, invert the pan onto a cooling rack placed over a parchment-lined baking tray. Use a hair dryer on a low/hot tower, gently warm the pan so that it releases from the pan, the sides first and then the top. For the semicircle baking mould, unmould by holding in hot water for a few seconds and pressing one side down.
8. To glaze a cake, place the cake on a cooking rack / 6" (smaller) round cake pan over a sheet tray. With quick movements, remove all the film by using hands/scraper. This will smooth the corners and the surface, and removes the outer layer of ice, allowing the glaze better bond with the product. This trick - one of the possible solutions to problems flowing from the sides glaze.
9. Pour the blue glaze onto the center of the frozen cake (make sure whole cake is covered), then spoons the purple and white color glaze on the surface quickly, and used elbowed spatula to smear it.
10. Walk away the excess of glaze using spatula. Being careful not to touch the glaze layer. Repeat step 8-9 for semicircle cake.
