🍫 Wicked Chocolate Mousse
003: Funday on Sunday with Bunday!
This week’s Funday on Sunday adventure is pure indulgence: a Wicked Chocolate Mousse inspired by Mary Berry’s classic recipe and brought to life through the creative lens of Sequoia Studios.
From the first swirl of melting chocolate to the final spoonful of silky mousse, this week’s animated reel celebrates the joy of making something beautiful from simple ingredients. And yes — our googly-eyed egg is back, observing the chaos from the safety of its egg box! 👀🥚
Set to a cheeky stop-motion soundtrack, the film transforms an everyday dessert into a playful visual story that’s part cookery, part character piece, all charm.
