Step 1: Bake the sponge cake
Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C).
Prepare 400 g FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake Deluxe according to the instructions on the package and add a little FunCakes Food Colour Gel Bright Green to the batter.
Grease the baking pan with FunCakes Bake Release Spray and pour the batter into the pan. Bake the sponge cake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes until done. Remove the cake from the pan immediately after baking and allow it to cool completely on a cooling grid.
Step 2: Prepare the buttercream
Prepare 325 g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream according to the instructions on the package.
Step 3: Prepare the crème patisserie
Prepare 150 g FunCakes Mix for Crème Patisserie according to the instructions on the package.
Step 4: Fill the cake
Cut the sponge cake into three even layers using a cake leveller. Spread a layer of crème patisserie over the first cake layer and place the second layer on top.
Cover the second layer with a layer of buttercream and stack the final cake layer on top.
Divide the remaining buttercream into two portions: leave one small portion white and colour the larger portion green using FunCakes Food Colour Gel Bright Green. Fill a decorating bag fitted with tip #233 with the green buttercream and another decorating bag fitted with tip #002 with the white buttercream.
Step 5: Cover the cake with fondant
Knead the fondant well and colour it green. Dust your work surface with FunCakes Magic Roll-Out Powder and roll out the fondant to a thickness of 2 to 3 mm.
Cover the cake smoothly with the green fondant.
Step 6: Decorate the football field
Use the white buttercream to pipe the lines of the football field onto the cake. Place the goals and football players onto the field and secure them with a little buttercream.
Pipe grass borders around the cake using the green buttercream and decorating tip #233 for a realistic grass effect.
Place the cake in the fridge until ready to serve.
