Step 1: Bake the Fluted TubeCake
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for fan ovens) and grease the fluted tube pan with FunCakes Bake Release Spray. Prepare 500 grams of FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes as indicated on the packaging. Stir in a handful of raisins and FunCakes Spiced Cookie Flavour into the batter, then transfer the mixture to the fluted tube pan. Bake the cake for about 50-60 minutes until done, and let it cool in the pan.

Step 3: Assemble the Fluted Tube Cake
Cut the fluted tube cake in half using a cake leveler. Fill a piping bag fitted with a #1M piping tip with the buttercream. Pipe small dollops of buttercream onto the bottom layer of the cake and carefully place the top layer on.
Step 4: Colour the Buttercream
Colour the remaining buttercream green using food colour gel and place it into a piping bag fitted with a #1M piping tip.
Step 5: Decorate the Fluted Tube Cake
Pipe a beautiful thick braid of buttercream on top of the fluted tube by piping stripes from left to right and vice versa, slightly overlapping them. Decorate with snowflakes, chocolate balls, and sugar decorations.
