Blend in the cayenne and salt. Add heavy cream. If you wish to have the sauce thicker, place a bowl over a pot of softly boiling water, and stir constantly with a whisk until thick. MAKE THE CAKES: Preheat the oven to 475°F/245°C. Make sure there are not shells in the crab meat and that the meat is moist but not watery. Gently mix the crab meats, mayonnaise, mustard, Old Bay, lemon juice, and panko, being careful not to break up the lump crab meat too much. Fold in the beaten egg whites. Using about a 4-ounce ice cream scoop, scoop out cakes onto an oiled baking sheet. (You can make large or small cakes.) Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cakes are fluffy and golden. Serve the crab cakes with Mousseline Sauce. From Cooking in The Lowcountry/From The Old Post Office by Jane & Michael Stern - 2004.
