Prepare

Ingredients

  • 150 g FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake
  • 150 g FunCakes Mix for Enchanted Cream®
  • FunCakes Bake Release Spray
  • FunCakes Flavour Paste Lemon Meringue
  • 200 g Wilton Candy Melts Pink
  • 200 g Wilton Candy Melts Green
  • 200 g Wilton Candy Melts Yellow
  • 200 g Wilton Candy Melts Orange
  • 200 g Wilton Candy Melts Light Blue
  • 200 g Wilton Candy Melts Red
  • 100 ml milk
  • 15 ml + 100 ml water
  • 3 eggs (approx 150 g)

Necessities

  • Wilton Extra Deep Round Cake Tin Ø 15 x 10 cm
  • Wilton Recipe Right Non-Stick Cooling Rack 40 x 25 cm
  • Wilton Cake Leveler – 25 cm
  • Wilton Angled Spatula – 22.5 cm
  • FunCakes Parchment Paper Sheets 25 x 25 cm

Step 1: Bake the Sponge Cake

Prepare 150 g of FunCakes Mix according to the instructions on the package. Spray your cake pan with FunCakes Bake Release Spray. Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (160°C fan oven) for 30–35 minutes. Once baked, immediately turn the sponge out onto a Wilton Cooling Grid and allow it to cool completely.

Step 2: Melt the Wilton Candy Melts®

Melt each color of Wilton Candy Melts separately in the microwave according to the package instructions. Spread one color at a time onto a sheet of FunCakes baking paper and carefully roll it up while the chocolate is still soft. Place the rolls in the fridge to set completely. Repeat this process for all colors.

Step 3: Prepare the Enchanted Cream®

Prepare 150 g of FunCakes Enchanted Cream® mix according to the instructions on the packaging. Add FunCakes Lemon Meringue Flavour Paste to taste.

Step 4: Fill and Cover the Cake

Use the Wilton Cake Leveler to slice the sponge horizontally into three even layers. Generously fill and cover the cake with the lemon meringue Enchanted Cream®.

Step 5: Decorate with Candy Melt Shards

Carefully unroll the set Candy Melt rolls. As you unroll them, they will naturally break into long, colorful shards. Gently press the shards all around the sides of the cake for a bold, eye-catching look. If desired, pipe a swirl of Enchanted Cream® on top and insert a few smaller shards for extra height and color.
