Make one of the mousses and spread it onto the base and leave to gel. Next, make the other mousse and spread it on top of the gelled mousse. Freeze. Serve as a sheet cake, cut into size, or cut into individual pastries. Finish with a glaze and secure the cake onto a cardboard base with apricot jam.
