Step 1: Make the batter

Make sure the ingredients are on room temperature. Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C). Mix 500g of the FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes with 5 eggs and 250g (cream)butter. Mix the entire batter for 4 minutes on the lowest speed with a whisk, then, mix 2 to 3 hands full of small pieces of gingerbread through the batter.

Step 2: Make the crème pâtissière 

Mix 100g of the Crème Pâtissière mix with 250ml of water in a bowl. Mix the batter with a whisk for 5 minutes at a medium speed until smooth. Then, let the crème pâtissière stiffen for 15 minutes.

Put the crème pâtissière in a decorating bag and cut off a corner. Spray a baking tin with baking spray and fill the baking tin with the gingerbread cake batter. Drizzle the crème pâtissière over the batter.

Step 3: Baking the Gingerbread Cake 

Bake the cake for 55-65 minutes in a preheated oven, use a skewer to check whether the cake is done. Place the cake on a cooling grid after baking it and immediately flip it. Let the cake cool off before decorating the cake.

Step 4: Decorating the Gingerbread Cake 

Heat the white Dip 'n Drip for about 10 minutes in a microwave and divide it into two portions. Colour one part yellow using the yellow food colour gel and colour the other part red using the red food colour gel. Put the Dip 'n Drip in two different decorating bags, cut off a corner and add a red and yellow drip on the cake. 

Decorate the cake using small pieces of gingerbread (pepernoten), Saint-Nicholas candy and FunCakes yellow choco balls on top of the red and yellow drip. Your Gingerbread Cake with drip for Saint-Nicholas is now ready to be eaten all the way!
