Step 1: Bake the cupcakes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (hot air oven160°C) and divide the cupcake baking cups between the Wilton Muffin Baking Tray. Prepare 250 grams of the FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes with 125 grams of butter and 125 grams (2.5 egg) as indicated on the package. Then divide the batter among the cupcake baking cups. Bake the cupcakes for about 18-22 minutes until light brown and done. Then let cool well on the countertop.

Step 2: Bake the sponge cake

Grease the PME square baking pan with the FunCakes Bake and Release spray. Then make 150 grams of the FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake with 3 eggs and 15 ml water as directed on the package. Place the batter into the baking pan. Bake the sponge cake for about 30-35 minutes until done and immediately after baking, dump onto a cooling rack. Then let cool thoroughly.

Step 3: Make the enchanted cream

Make 175 grams of the FunCakes Mix for Enchanted Cream with 175 ml of milk as indicated on the package. Then flavour it with the FunCakes Flavor paste Marscarpone.

Step 4: Fill and line the cake

Cut the sponge cake twice with the cake cutter and fill the cake with the marscapone enchanted cream. Then spread the cake thinly with a layer of enchanted cream. Divide the remaining enchanted cream among three bowls and color them to your liking with the FunCakes Edible Dyes. Stir in the coloring well. Haven't reached the desired color yet? Then add more food coloring.

Step 5: Line the cake with fondant

Knead the white fondant well and roll out on a sugar baking powder dusted work surface. Roll out the fondant and line the cake with it.

Step 6: Fill the bento box

To finish the bento box, cut the insert to size for the cake. Leave 2 holes for the cupcakes. Place the cake and cupcakes in the bento box.

Step 7: Decorate the cupcakes and cake

Put the enchanted cream in three different piping bags with the adaptors and nozzle. Do not use an adaptor for the nozzle #1M. Decorate the cake and cupcakes with the different colors of enchanted cream. Then sprinkle with the FunCakes Nonpareils Bronze and decorate with the gold sheets.

Tip: Do you have too many cupcakes? Then freeze them! Put them in a cake box in the freezer, this way they will keep for up to 3 months. Let them thaw on the counter if you want to use them again!
