Once Labor Day weekend is over, you might as well throw on a sweater and boots, because summer 2014 is dead. Ok, so we're being a little overdramatic. Yes, it will likely still be 80 degrees for another three weeks until the real end of the season.
I've been toying with the idea for a stout mousse cake for a couple of weeks now, and at first, I couldn't get my head around how to make it happen. I didn't know if stout mousse was even a thing, but I was sure if it wasn't, it needed to be.
