Other ingredients:

• 12 eggs
• 300 g soft unsalted butter
• 250 ml + 75 ml water
• Powdered sugar

Step 1: The sponge cake
Preheat the oven to 175°C (convection oven 160°C). Ingredients need to be at room temperature. Mix 750 g mix for sponge cake, 12 eggs and 75 ml water in a bowl. Mix at high speed for 7-8 minutes. Then mix at low speed for another 2-3 minutes. Divide the batter in 3 portions and colour each portion with the Sugarflair paste duck egg, Sugarflair paste rose pink and the Sugarflair paste orchid. Spray the 3 PME deep round cake pans with the FunCakes bake release spray. Pour the batter into the cake pans and bake them for approx. 30-35 minutes. Release the cakes immediately after baking and let it cool down on a cake grid.

Step 2: The butter cream
Add 250 ml of water to 250 grams of the mix for butter cream and beat with a whisk. Then let the mixture rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Beat 300 grams of unsalted butter for approx. 5 minutes until it’s creamy. Add a part of the mixture to the butter and beat until the mixture has been completely absorbed before adding the next part. Once all of the mixture has been added, beat until you have a smooth butter cream (approx. 10 minutes).

Step 3: Filling and covering with butter cream
Cut with the Wilton cake leveller the convex top of off the sponge cakes. Make this into small crumbs. Saw the sponge cakes in 2 pieces of the same size. Fill and cover the cake with butter cream. Put the cake in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Step 4: The decorations
Put the colored cake crumbs in 3 bowls and mix in some butter cream. Make different sizes of balls with the different colors together. When all crumbs are used, place the balls in the refrigerator to allow them to stiffen.

Step 5: Covering with fondant
There are 2 ways to cover the cake with fondant.
-          Knead the FunCakes fondant bright white and roll it out into a large round patch with a thickness of 2 mm. Put this over the cake and make sure that the fondant completely covers the cake. Cut away the edges with a sharp knife.
-          Knead the FunCakes fondant bright white and roll it out into an elongated patch with a thickness of 2 mm. Cover the side of the cake with this. Then place a piece on top of the cake. Cut the edges away with a sharp knife.

Step 6: Decorating
Make 3 bowls with paint by putting a little bit of the Sugarflair paste into each tray. This way you get 1 bowl with purple paint, 1 bowl with pink paint and 1 bowl with blue paint. Make stripes on the cake with the different colors using a big brush. Gently stick the Sugarflair 24 carat gold leafs against the cake. And finally place the colored cake balls on top of the cake.
