This recipe is in the top 5 of most difficult AND time intensive recipes I have made, but it is so very worth it. The apricot jam (I had scored some homemade from the fabulous Kate H.) add a depth and complexity to the bars--almost a mocha flavor.
I used my handy Gourmet Cookbook to make this and probably wouldn't have posted it here (it's a LONG recipe to type). Fortunately, Epicurious.com has the recipe. I've just attached pictures I took of the big steps because it's a scary recipe. I would have loved to see that I was doing things right along the way.
They aren't kidding when they say you'll be making two layers of VERY thin cake!
Chocolate mousse filling over the thin apricot jam layer 
Whip cream filling
My only suggestion with this recipe would be to cut off the crispy edge of both cake layers and perhaps trim a bit more off the top layer to help with placing the 30 tops on top of the whip cream filling.

These were the best dessert bars I have EVER tasted.
I ate an entire plateful (over the next few days).
Kudos to Emily for trying out this very daring recipe.
I'm sad to say I'll probably never try them. They look WAY too hard for me. They look delicious!
