After making the Cherry Mousse I thought it would make a great filling for a Vanilla Cake. It's light and creamy and sets up well for the cake! Its fresh cherrie flavor is not to sweet so it's a lighter flavored cake then with a regular frosting.

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
