Stap 1: Bake the sponge cake

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for a convection oven) and grease the baking pan with baking spray. Prepare 150 grams of FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake as indicated on the packaging. Afterward, spread the batter into the baking pan and bake the sponge cake for about 30-35 minutes until done. Immediately turn it out onto a cake rack after baking and let it cool.

Step 2: Make the buttercream

Prepare 125 g of FunCakes Mix for Buttercream as indicated on the packaging. Flavor the buttercream with the flavor paste.

Step 3: Cut and fill the sponge cake

Cut the sponge cake twice with a cake leveler, fill, and thinly coat it all around with buttercream. Let the cake set in the refrigerator. Color the remaining buttercream with Urban Taupe color gel and place it in a piping bag with tip #1M.

Step 4: Cover and decorate the cake with sugar paste

Knead the Teal Blue sugar paste well and roll it out to a thickness of about 2-3 mm, then cover the cake with it. From the Urban Taupe sugar paste, create a decorative border using the largest size rope from the mold, and attach it with some edible glue along the bottom edge of the cake.

Step 5: Create the text on the cake

Roll out a piece of Urban Taupe sugar paste and cut out a heart shape (size of your choice), then imprint a message using the fun fonts. Use the brush and gold paint to color in the letters. Attach this heart to the cake with some edible glue.

Step 6: Decorate the cake

Pipe small buttercream rosettes along the top edge of the cake. Place some ivory pearls in a plastic bag, add some blue dust powder, and shake. Place the blue pearls on a rosette of cream.

Step 7: Treat your loved one to this delicious Valentine's cake!
