Step 1: Make the sugar paste butterflies

Knead small amounts of all the pastel-colored sugar paste until they are soft and then twist them together to form a rainbow-colored ball. Roll this out thinly and cut out different butterfly shapes. Fold an A4 sheet of paper into an "M" shape and place the butterflies inside so they can dry properly.

Step 2: Bake the sponge cakes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for a convection oven) and grease the baking pans with Bake Release Spray. Prepare 400 grams of FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake Deluxe as directed on the package. Divide the batter between the two baking pans and bake the sponge cakes for about 30-35 minutes. Once baked, immediately turn onto a cooling rack to cool.

Step 3: Make the Enchanted Cream®

Prepare 3x150 grams of FunCakes Mix for Enchanted Cream® according to the package instructions. Next, slice each sponge cake twice using a cake leveler and fill them with your choice of jam and Enchanted Cream®. Apply a thin layer of Enchanted Cream® to the outside of the cakes.

Step 4: Stack the sponge cakes

Stack the two sponge cakes on top of each other, using a cake board cut to size for the 15 cm sponge and dowels cut to size for the 20 cm sponge cake. Optionally, add a small dollop of cream between the two cakes to prevent sliding.

Step 5: Colour the Enchanted Cream®

Divide the remaining Enchanted Cream® into bowls and colour them in the desired shades. Pipe rosettes, drop flowers, and stars in all the colours you’ve created over the entire surface of both cakes. Gently press the sugar paste butterflies into the cream on the cake.

Step 6: Decorate the cake with curls

Wrap four 20-gauge wires with blue tape and twist them around a rolling pin to create curls. Do the same with a few 20-gauge wires without tape. Spray these curls with metallic gold spray. Insert the wires into the cake using a flower pic. NEVER insert unprotected wires into the cake to avoid oxidation of the wire.

Step 7: Enjoy this Delicious Floral Birthday Cake!
