Step 1: Bake the puff pastry in the oven
Preheat the oven to 200°C (convection oven 180°C). Cut 4 sheets of puff pastry diagonally in half and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top along with another baking sheet. This prevents the puff pastry from puffing up too much. Bake the puff pastry for about 15 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through, then allow to cool on the countertop.
Step 2: Make the cupcake batter
Let the oven cool down to 180°C (convection oven 160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine 250 grams of FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes with 2,5 eggs and 125 grams of butter. Mix at low speed for 4 minutes until you have a smooth batter. Stir in some red/white/blue nonpareils with a spatula. Do not overmix. Grease the cake pan with cake release and pour the batter into it. Bake the cake for about 25-30 minutes until cooked through, then remove from the pan and let it cool on a cake rack.
Step 3: Make the royal icing
Mix 225 grams of FunCakes Mix for Royal Icing with 27 ml of water on low speed for 8 minutes until it forms a thick, stiff white mass. Take three generous tablespoons of this mixture and thin it with some water until it reaches yogurt-like consistency. Color it orange and transfer it into a piping bag. Snip off a small corner and cover the puff pastry with a beautiful layer of this glaze, then allow it to dry completely.
Step 4: Fill the Tompouce with the fillings and finish
Prepare 50 grams of FunCakes Mix for Crème Pâtissière with 125 ml of water. Whip 75 grams of FunCakes Mix fpr Enchanted Cream® Mix with 100 ml of water at high speed, then fold half of it into the pastry cream. This is the Swiss cream. Transfer it into a piping bag fitted with a 6B tip, and put the rest of the Enchanted Cream® into a piping bag with a 1M tip. Trim off the top layer of the cake (you won't use this) and pipe dollops of Swiss cream onto the cake. Pipe 8 rosettes of Enchanted Cream® on top of the Swiss cream, and place the orange puff pastry diagonally against them. Pipe a dollop of Enchanted Cream® in the center and sprinkle with some red/white/blue nonpareils.
