Step 1: Prepare the Sponge Cake

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for a convection oven). Spray the baking pans with baking spray. Prepare 400 grams of sponge cake mix with 6 eggs and 40 ml of water, and divide the mixture between the two baking pans. Bake the sponges for about 30-35 minutes until they are lightly browned and cooked through. Immediately after baking, turn them out onto a cooling rack and let them cool.

Step 2: Prepare the Enchanted Cream©

Prepare the Enchanted Cream© in two separate batches of 150 grams mix, 100 ml milk, and 100 ml water according to the instructions on the package.

Step 3: Fill and frost

Cut each sponge cake in two layers using a cake leveler, and as you stack them, fill them with Enchanted Cream© and a jam of your choice. Spread a thin layer of cream on the outside, allowing the cake to be slightly visible through it. Let the cake firm up in the refrigerator.

Divide the remaining Enchanted Cream© into two portions and colour one pink and the other light blue with food colouring gels. Frost the outside of the cake with the light blue cream and return the cake to the refrigerator.

Step 4: Prepare the sugar paste

Divide the sugar paste into 6 pieces and use food colouring gels for 5 of them. Knead a dab of Crisco into the white piece, so you can easily make strands with it using an extruder.

Step 5: Make Balloons

Gently bend the round cutter into the shape of a balloon. Make a small ball of sugar paste and lightly flatten it. Roll out a thin sheet of sugar paste in the same color and place it over the ball. Cover it with a piece of plastic wrap and cut out a balloon shape. Repeat this with all colors until you have enough balloons.

Place a piece of the white sugar paste into the extruder with the smallest hole and create strands.

Step 6: Decorate the Cake

Warm the FunCakes Dip ’n Drip in the microwave for 10 seconds and color it pink. Drip it over the cake, pipe large swirls of pink Enchanted Cream on top, and sprinkle the Sugar strands Mix XL over it. Apply the mix along the bottom edge of the cake as well, and attach the balloons to the side.

Finish the cake with Balloon Dog candles.
