Step 1: Make the sponge cakes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for a convection oven), grease the baking pan with baking spray, and line the pan with a strip of parchment paper. Prepare 330 grams of FunCakes Sponge Cake according to the instructions on the package. Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake the sponge for about 30-35 minutes until done. Immediately after baking, turn the cake out onto a cooling rack to cool (remove the parchment paper).

Step 2: Prepare the Buttercream

Prepare 200 grams of FunCakes Swiss Meringue Buttercream Mix according to the instructions on the package.

Step 3: Fill and Frost

Slice the sponge cake into two layers using a cake saw, and fill the layers with buttercream. Divide the remaining buttercream into 4 portions in separate bowls, adding one of the Wilton Icing Colors to each portion. Mix the buttercreams well, so the colours are distinct and visible.

Step 4: Decorate the cake

Dip a spatula into the buttercream and create small swipes along the side of the cake. Do this around the entire side of the cake, alternating the colors. Once the cake is fully decorated, place the candle(s) on top.

Step 5: Enjoy the Delicious Birthday Cake!
