Necessary

Step 1: Make the sponge cakes
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and grease two round cake pans with baking spray. Prepare 330 g FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake Deluxe according to the instructions on the package. Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 30–35 minutes until fully baked. Remove from the pans immediately and let cool completely on a rack.
Step 2: Prepare the raspberry buttercream
Make 200 g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream according to the instructions. Add FunCakes Flavour Paste Raspberry to taste and mix until smooth and fluffy.
Step 3: Make the skull decorations
Melt the Raspberry and Orange Deco Melts separately following the package instructions. Fill piping bags and half-fill the Wilton Mini Skull moulds. Let set in the fridge and repeat until you have enough skulls to cover the cake.
Step 4: Level and layer the cake
Cut each sponge cake into two layers using a cake leveler, creating four layers in total. Fill and stack the layers with raspberry buttercream, then cover the entire cake with buttercream, leaving the top bare.
Step 5: Prepare the Enchanted Cream®
Prepare 75 g FunCakes Mix for Enchanted Cream® using 100 ml milk. Spread a thin layer over the top of the cake. Place the remaining cream into a piping bag fitted with Wilton tip #1M.
Step 6: Decorate the sides
Press the set skulls around the sides of the cake. Add small pearls between some of the skulls for extra detail and texture.
Step 7: Finish the decoration
Pipe swirls on top of the cake using the Enchanted Cream® and decorate with Choco Crunch Pearls and Halloween sprinkles for a spooky finish.
