Step 1: Prepare the buttercream

Mix 600 grams of buttercream mix with 600 ml of water and set aside.

Step 2: Portion the sponge cake mix

Follow this schedule for the sponge cake mix:

• 30 cm = 500 grams sponge cake mix, 7 ½ eggs + 50 ml water. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
• 25 cm = 400 grams sponge cake mix, 6 eggs + 40 ml water. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
• 20 cm = 250 grams sponge cake mix, 4 eggs + 25 ml water. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
• 15 cm = 150 grams sponge cake mix, 3 eggs + 15 ml water. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Step 3: Bake the sponge cake mix

For each cake pan, mix the sponge cake mix with the eggs and water in a mixing bowl. Beat on high speed for 8 minutes until you have a glossy batter, then mix for an additional 2 minutes on low speed. Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (convection). Immediately turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 4: Finish the buttercream

Meanwhile, finish the buttercream as indicated on the packaging and flavor it with your chosen flavoring.

Step 5: Slice the sponge cakes

Slice each sponge cake into three layers using a cake saw. Place the 15 cm and 20 cm sponge cakes on a gold/silver cake board (cut to size). Place the 25 cm sponge cake on a cake board and the 30 cm sponge cake on a drum.

Fill the sponge cakes with buttercream and coat them lightly so that the sponge cake is still visible. Let this set well in the refrigerator.

Step 6: Stack the sponge cakes

Once the buttercream has hardened, stack the sponge cakes on top of each other, using cut-to-size plastic dowels in each layer.

Decorate the cake with plenty of fresh fruit and return it to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
