Step 1: Making the stars on wire 

Start a day in advance so that the stars can dry well. First roll out a piece of the Tiger Orange FunCakes Roll Fondant with the Wilton Small Rolling pin. Roll this out thinly to a thickness of 1 or 2 mm. Then cut the Silver Culpitt Floral Wire in half with a pair of pliers and cut out various sizes of stars with the FMM Star Cutter Set/4. After cutting out the various stars, dip the end of the Silver Culpitt Floral Wire into the FunCakes Edible Glue and then push them into the stars. Lay the stars down and allow them to dry

Step 2: Bake the sponge cake

Preheat the oven in hot air mode to 160 degrees. In the meanwhile, grease both PME Extra Deep Round Cake Pans with the FunCakes Bake Release Spray. Prepare the FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake Deluxe as indicated on the packaging. Divide the batter evenly in the two pans. Bake the Mix for Sponge Cake for 30-35 minutes and then place the cake on the Wilton Chrome Plated Cooling Grid to cool down.

Step 3: Make the buttercream

In the meantime, prepare the FunCakes Mix for Buttercream as indicated on the packaging. You can give it extra flavour by mixing it with the FunCakes Flavour Paste Vanilla.

Step 4: Cut and fill the cake

Cut the sponge cakes twice with the Wilton Cake leveler and stick the bottom of the cake on top of the FunCakes Cake Carton with a little bit of buttercream. Then fill the sponge cakes with the FunCakes Buttercream and coat the 20x10 cm cake with buttercream as well with the Wilton Comfort Grip Spatula. Color the remaining buttercream green with the FunCakes Bright Green Edible FunColours. Cover the 15x10cm cake with the green buttercream.

Step 5: Lining the cake

After covering the cakes, cover the 15x10 cm cake with the FunCakes Sprinkle Medley -Football- by pressing the sprinkles against the cake by hand. Then put the cake back in the fridge so that the FunCakes buttercream can set. Sprinkle some FunCakes Icing Sugar over a clean work surface and roll out the remaining part of the orange fondant with the Wilton -Perfect Height- Rolling Pin to a thickness of 2-3mm. Cover the 20x10 cm cake with the rolled out fondant. Push four PME Plastic Dowel Rods into the orange cake and cut them to size.

Step 6: Decorate the cake

Place the 15x10 cm cake on top of the 20x10cm cake. Then stick the hardened stars in the top cake. Stick the FunCakes Sugar Paste Decorations Football Set/8 on the side of the bottom cake with some FunCakes Edible Glue as finishing touch.
