Step 1: Bake the sponge cake

Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C). Prepare 250 g FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake Deluxe as indicated on the package. Grease the baking pan with FunCakes Bake Release Spray and spatula the cookie batter into it. Bake the cookie for about 30-35 minutes until done and after baking, immediately dump onto a cake rack to cool.

Step 2: Make the swiss meringue buttercream

Prepare 100 g FunCakes Mix for Swiss Meringue Buttercream as indicated on the package.

Step 3: Cut and fill the cakes

Using a cake leveler, cut the cake 2x. From the set of round cutters, take a ring with a diameter of about 9-10 cm and cut 4 rings from each slice of cake.

Make 4 small cakes from 3 rings of cakes filled and frosted with FunCakes Mix for Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Keep a small amount of cream left to stick the balls on the cake. Let the smeared cakes set in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Step 4: Line the cakes

Knead the FunCakes Sugar Paste White well and line the cakes with it.

Step 5: Decorate the cake

Decorative border

Use the FunCakes Sugar Paste Vintage Purple together with the Karen Davies Template Coarse Knitted Ribbed Trim to make the hats. Using a sharp knife, cut the shape out of the slice of Sugar Paste. Stick this onto the cake with some edible glue. Using the same colour Sugar Paste, make a finishing border and a scarf using the mold.

Ponpon of the hat

With the FunCakes Sugar Paste Chic Aubergine make a pompon for the hat..

Snowflakes

From the FunCakes Sugar Paste Rose White make small snowflakes using the smallest size plunger.

Eyes

Roll out the FunCakes Sugar Paste black wafer thin and cut out rounds for the eyes. Make pupils with small pieces of white.

Mouth

Glue black pearls in the shape of a mouth on top of the cake and stick all the other parts on the cake.
