Step 1: Make the FunCakes sponge Cake Deluxe

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (hot air oven 160 degrees) and grease Wilton baking pans with the FunCakes Bake Release Spray. Make 400g of the FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake Deluxe with 40ml water and 6 eggs as indicated on the package. Then divide the batter between the two baking pans.

 

Bake the sponge cakes for about 30-35 minutes until done, and after baking, immediately dump them onto a cake rack to cool well.

Step 2: Make the FunCakes Mix for Buttercream 

Make 200 g of the FunCakes Mix for Buttercream with 200 ml of water and finish with 250 g of soft butter as indicated on the package. At last place the FunCakes Flavourpaste White Choco into the buttercream to your taste.

 

Fill a FunCakes piping bag with Wilton's nozzle #4B Open Star. You can easily do this by putting the piping bag with the nozzle in a glass and then filling the piping bag with the buttercream.

Step 3: Fill and spread the buttercream on the sponge cakes

Using the Wilton cake cutter, cut both sponge cakes twice and fill the layers with jam and buttercream. Repeat with each layer and spread the sponge cakes with a thin layer of buttercream. Then leave both sponge cakes to set in the fridge.

Step 4: Line the sponge cakes with the Smartflex Fondant

Knead the Smartflex Fondant White well until smooth. Sprinkle sugar baking powder on your work surface and roll out the sugar paste with the Wilton rolling stick into an even round shape about 2-3 mm thick. While rolling, always turn the sugar paste a quarter turn to prevent sticking.

 

Then cover both sponge cakes with the Smartflex Fondant, using a sugar paste smoother to get the sugar paste tight around the sponge cakes.

Step 5: Stack the sponge cakes on top of each other

First place the 20 cm sponge cake on the FunCakes Cake Drum Baby Blue and insert four dowel sticks through the sponge cake. Then use scissors to cut the dowel sticks to size. Cut a cake board to size and place it on top of the sponge cake. Then stack the 15 cm sponge cake on the cake board. This will keep your cake firm on top of each other.

Step 6: Melt the FunCakes Isomalt

Melt the FunCakes Isomalt in the microwave (approx. 700W in a heatproof bowl) or a pan up to 170°C. Every 20-30 seconds, stir the isomalt well until it is completely liquid. Place the bowl/pan in a bowl with a small amount of cold water for about 10 seconds. Then pour it onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and let the isomalt dry thoroughly.

Step 7: Make the fondant snowflakes

Knead the Smartflex Sugar Paste Blue well and roll out to a thickness of about 2-3 mm thick. Cut out various sizes of snowflakes with the PME Snowflake Plunger Cutters. Then stick the snowflakes to the sides of the cake with some FunCakes Edible Glue.

Step 8: Make the FunCakes Mix for Enchanted Cream

Make the 125g of FunCakes Mix for Enchanted Cream with 125ml of milk as directed on the package. Then put the enchanted cream in a piping bag with the Wilton #4B nozzle.

Step 9: Decorate the Winter Cake

Pipe tufts of the Enchanted Cream around and around the top of the cake, then sprinkle the FunCakes Musket Seed Shark Mix over the tufts. Break the isomalt into pieces and insert them into the tufts on top of the cake.

Step 10: Enjoy a delicious slice of Winter Cake with White Chocolate Enchanted Cream!
