Wilton Gum Paste Flower Stacked Cake
Difficulty: 4/5

Prepare
Other materials:
- 5 eggs (approx. 250 gram)
- 375 gram butter
- 125 ml water
All the ingredients need to be at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 160°C (convection oven 140°C). Mix 500 grams of the mixture, 250 grams of butter and 5 eggs in a bowl and mix on low speed for 4 minutes to a smooth batter. Divide the batter of the increased baking pans and bake the cakes in approx. 70-75 minutes. Let the cakes cool down.
Cut of all three the cakes a slice diagonally. Cut them in half and fill the with a filling of your choice.
In the meanwhile, make the buttercream. Add 125 ml of water to 125 grams of the mixture and beat with a whisk. Then let the mixture rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Beat 150 grams of unsalted butter for approx. 5 minutes until creamy. Add a part of the mixture to the butter and beat until the mixture has been completely absorbed before adding the next part. Once all of the mixture has been added, beat to a smooth buttercream (approx. 10 minutes).
Cover all three cakes with buttercream. Knead 1200 gram chocolate fondant well, divide the fondant in three and roll it out on some icing sugar. Cover the cakes with the fondant and stack them on each other. Take a dowel and place that true the middle of the cakes. Cut of the top, just a bit smaller than the last cake, so that you don’t see the dowel anymore.
PLEASE NOTE! This technique is only suitable for cakes with a smaller size, for bigger cakes you need to use another technique.
You can finish the cake with a roll of fondant. Get all the three blue/purple cutter with matching vening mat from the flower set. Make flowers in orange, yellow and pink in different sizes with these cutters. Cover the ball on the stamen with some glue and pin a flower on it. Let it dry.
Then tape the flowers together in small bunches with the tape. The place the bunches on a lovely way on the cake. You can even finish the drum with a pretty ribbon.
