Step 1: Bake the Sponge Cake

Preheat the oven to 180°C (or 160°C for a convection oven) and grease the cake pans with baking spray. Prepare 400 g of FunCakes Sponge Cake Mix Deluxe according to the instructions on the package. Divide the batter between the greased cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes until done. Turn them out onto a wire rack to cool.

Step 2: Make the Buttercream

Prepare 400 g of FunCakes Buttercream Mix as directed on the package. Add flavour paste to the buttercream for extra flavour. Set up several small bowls and add a generous tablespoon of buttercream to each. Use FunCakes Food Colour Gels to mix different colours in each bowl. Divide the remaining buttercream into two portions and colour them purple and lime green.

Step 3: Cut and crumb coat the sponge cake

Slice both sponge cakes twice using a cake saw and alternate between filling the layers with thin amounts of purple and lime green buttercream. Place a cake board between the two layers for support. Cover the entire outside of the cake with purple buttercream. Use a spatula to apply the cream, and a side scraper and turntable to smooth the surface. Place the cake in the fridge for half an hour to set.

Step 4: Decorate the side of the cake

In the meantime, prepare piping bags with couplers and tip #002, one for each colour. Fill the piping bags with buttercream and decorate the cake with Halloween shapes such as spider webs, ghosts, stars, and candies.

Step 5: Decorate the top of the cake

Put the lime green buttercream in a piping bag fitted with tip #1M and pipe 8 neat swirls on top of the cake. Decorate half of the swirls with stylish Halloween sprinkles and place a sugar ghost on the other swirls.
