    Using the cookie cutter, cut the pastry into rounds and place into the holes of the mini muffin tin.
    Place in freezer while preparing the mousse.
    Place the salmon, shallot and celery in a food processor; process until smooth.
    Add the lime juice, horseradish, cream, salt and cayenne pepper; process just until smooth. Taste for seasoning.
    Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate to firm up as well as develop the flavors, about 30 minute.
    Fill rounds in muffin tin about 2/3 full.

    Allow them to cool just a little in the tin, they will deflate just a bit.
    Top with the creme fraiche and serve immediately.
