Step 1: Prepare the Gingerbread Cookies

Start by making the gingerbread mix according to the instructions on the packaging and wrap the dough in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan).

Step 2: Make the Cake

Prepare 400 g FunCakes Mix for Classic Cake as indicated on the packaging. Add the butter to the mixing bowl and mix for 3 minutes on low speed until smooth. Add the eggs and the mix, then beat for 5 minutes on medium speed.

Spoon the batter into the Wilton Recipe Right® loaf pan and bake for approx. 55–60 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through. Let the cake cool almost completely, then turn it out onto a cooling rack to cool further.

Step 3: Bake the Gingerbread Cookies

Remove the dough from the fridge and knead briefly. Roll it out on a work surface dusted with roll out powder. Roll to a thickness of 2–3 mm and cut out shapes with the Wilton snowflake cutter. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes until done. Leave to cool on the counter.

Step 4: Make the Buttercream

Prepare 150 g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream as indicated on the packaging. Place 3/4 of the buttercream in a piping bag fitted with Wilton tip #1M. Place the remaining buttercream in a piping bag fitted with Wilton tip #004.

Step 5: Decorate

Pipe snowflake details onto the cookies using tip #004. Then pipe the buttercream onto the cake using tip #1M. Decorate with FunCakes Sprinkle Medley Joyful and finish by pressing the gingerbread cookies into the buttercream.
