Step 1: Make the FunCakes Mix for Biscuit Deluxe

Preheat the oven to 180°C (hot-air oven 160°C). Prepare 150 g FunCakes Mix for Biscuit as directed on the package and put it into the baking pan greased with baking spray. Bake the biscuit for about 30-35 minutes until done and dump onto a cake rack to cool immediately after baking.

Step 2: Make the cake balls

Prepare 250 g FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes as directed on the package. Put the batter in a piping bag and heat the Bestron Cake Pop Maker. Spray the cavities of the cake pop maker with the FunCakes Bake Release Spray and pipe in the batter. Bake the cake balls for about 4 minutes until light brown and leave to cool well.

Step 3: Make the FunCakes Mix for Buttercream

Make 125g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream as directed on the pack. At last put the FunCakes Flavourpaste Pistachio into the buttercream for a pistaschio taste. 

Step 4: Fill in and spread the biscuit with buttercream

When the biscuit has cooled down well, cut the biscuit twice with the Wilton Cake Leveler. Fill and spread the cake with the pistachio buttercream. Then leave to set in the fridge.

Step 5: Line the biscuit with sugar paste

Knead the FunCakes sugar Paste Raven Black well and roll it out to a thickness of about 2-3 mm and line the cake with it. Take some of the Sugarflair Edible Paint Matt Gold on a saucer and dot some of the cake with the small brush from Wilton's set.

Step 6: Make the cakepops

Put some yellow FunCakes Sugar Dots in a plastic bag with some FunCakes Ginger Gold powder and shake it well to make it a nice even colour.

Heat the 250 g FunCakes Deco Melts Black in the microwave as indicated on the packaging. Dip the straws in this and stick them in the cake. After this, dip the cake balls in the black Deco Melts, stick them in a dummy or piece of oasis and let the cakepops harden in the fridge.

Dip the cakepops in the melts for a second time. Dip the cakepops on which you want golden sugar dots in the sugardots immediately after dipping it in de melts. Let this set in the fridge again. Spray other cake pops with the FunCakes Metallic Spray gold.

Tip: The excess cakepops can be frozen very well for a later use. In the freezer they last for about two months.

Step 7: Decorate Gold and New Cake

Put some FunCakes Piping Gel in a piping bag and pipe a thin line of piping gel along the bottom edge of the cake and place the black pearls around the cake.

Finally, decorate the cake by poking the cakepops into the cake.  

Step 8: Have a banging New Years Eve with this delicious Gold and New Cake with Cakepops!
