Step 1: Making the cake for the Dip 'n Drip cake

Preheat the oven to 180°C (convectionoven 160°C) and process the ingredients on room temperature. Mix 250g of the FunCakes mix for Sponge Cake Deluxe with 4 eggs and 25ml of water. Mix the batter for 7-8 minutes at the highest speed with an electric mixer, afterwards mix it for 2-3 minutes at a low speed. Grease the baking pan with the bake release spray and raise the baking pan using some parchment paper. Scoop the batter into the baking pan and bake the cake for 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven. Let the cake cool off on a cooling grid.

Step 2: Making the cupcakes for the Dip 'n Drip cake

Mix 500g of the FunCakes mix for Cupcakes with 5 eggs and 250g of unsalted creambutter. Mix the entirety for about 4 minutes at a low speed with an electric mixer. Divide the white baking cups over the muffin pan and use the ice cream scoop to scoop the batter into the baking cups. Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven for about 18-22 minutes until well-done and let them cool off on the counter top. 

Step 3: Making the Enchanted Cream for the Dip 'n Drip cake

Mix 225g Mix for Enchanted Cream with 150ml of milk and 150ml of water, mix it for about 3 minutes at the highest speed using an electric mixer. Add some flavour to the enchanted cream by using the FunCakes flavour paste lemon.

Step 4: Preparing to decorate the Dip 'n Drip cake

Cut the biscuit two to three times with the cake leveler, fill and spread the Enchanted Cream around the cake. Let it stiffen up in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Put the blue and white deco melts into a separate microwave proof bowl. Melt the deco melts for 15-20 seconds at 500W in the microwave. Stir the deco melts well and melt them again for 15-20 seconds at 500W, stir the deco melts again. Keep repeating this process until the deco melts have almost melted completely, some small pieces may still be visible. You can easily stir these small pieces into the warm deco melts. Pour the blue and white deco melts on a bakin tray that is covered in parchment paper. Use a spatula to stir the colours to marble it. Immediately sprinkle some blue and white sugar pearls and sugar strands over the deco melts while they're still warm and a liquid. Let it stiffen up in the refrigerator and break it into rough pieces when you take it out of the fridge.

Step 5: Decorating the Dip 'n Drip cake

Colour the sugar paste baby blue using the food colour gel by FunCakes, roll out the sugar paste on a surface covered in magic roll out powder until a thickness of about 3mm. Cover the cake in the sugar paste.

Heat some of the FunCakes Mix for Dip 'n Drip in a microwave for 5-10 seconds and dip the cupcakes into it. Immediately sprinkle some sugar strands on the cupcakes and let them dry.

Put some of the left over Dip 'n Drip in a decorating bag and cut off a corner. Let the drip slide down the edge of the cake. To see if the drip runs nicely, use an upside down glass, if the drip runs down too quickly then you'll need to cool the drip down for a while and if it hardly drips then you'll need to heat it up in the microwave for a couple of seconds.

Scoop some Enchanted Cream in a decorating bag with decorating tip #1M by Wilton and create a nice spiral on the edge of the cake. Sprinkle some sugar strands on top and stick some deco melts into the cake, put some cupcakes on top.
