*Tip: Ideally, prepare the eyes, horns, and hats 1–2 days in advance so they have time to dry and are easier to work with.

Step 1: Make the eyes

Cut 1 FunCakes Dummy Ball in half. Knead FunCakes Rolled Fondant Bella Blue until smooth and roll out thin sheets. Cover the whole and half dummy balls with FunCakes Piping Gel and wrap them in blue fondant. Roll out FunCakes Rolled Fondant Bright White and Raven Black and cut out circles for the eyes. Create eyelids from blue fondant by cutting half circles. Attach everything with edible glue. Leave to dry and insert the whole balls onto FunCakes Lollipop Sticks. Keep the half balls separate.

Step 2: Make the hats

Trim the tips off the ice cream cones. Melt FunCakes Deco Melts and dip the tips in. Let them set in the fridge, then dip again if needed. Roll out FunCakes Rolled Fondant Fire Red, cut thin strips, and twist into ribbons. Attach them to the cones with edible glue and place a FunCakes Soft Pearl Medium White on top. Once the eyes are dry, fix the hats onto them with a little FunCakes Royal Icing.

Step 3: Make the horns

Shape two equal pieces of FunCakes Rolled Fondant Electric Yellow into horns. Smooth the bottoms, insert a cocktail stick, and leave to dry completely.

Step 4: Bake the biscuits

Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C) and grease 1 half ball pan and 1 round baking pan with FunCakes Bake Release Spray. Prepare 330 g FunCakes Mix for Biscuit Deluxe as directed. Divide the batter over the pans and bake for approx. 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Cool on a Wilton Recipe Right Non-Stick Cooling Grid.

Step 5: Prepare the buttercream

Make 200 g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream as instructed and flavor with a FunCakes Flavor Paste of your choice.

Step 6: Fill and stack the biscuits

Cut the biscuits into 3 layers with the Wilton Cake Leveler. Fill and cover the layers with buttercream. Place the half dome cake on top of the round biscuit, using a cake board for support.

Step 7: Cover the cake

Knead FunCakes Rolled Fondant Bella Blue until smooth, roll out to 2–3 mm thickness, and cover the entire cake neatly for a smooth finish.

Step 8: Create the face

Roll FunCakes Rolled Fondant Raven Black into a rope and shape a mouth. Attach with edible glue. Roll out Bright White fondant, cut small square teeth, and stick them in place. Shape a tongue from FunCakes Rolled Fondant Fire Red, score a line in the middle, and attach. Fix the half balls to the cake as eyes with FunCakes Piping Gel.

Step 9: Add details

Roll out FunCakes Rolled Fondant Electric Yellow and Spring Green, cut out small circles, and scatter them playfully over the cake.

Step 10: Assemble the cake

Insert the horns and eyes into the cake. Break off parts of the lollipop sticks if needed to vary the height.
