Christmas Tree Cake

Roll out 25 grams of fondant and cut one large star and several small stars. Tip! Prepare the stars one or two days in advance so they can dry.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C convection oven).

Prepare 330 grams of FunCakes sponge cake mix as instructed on the package. Grease the mold with the release spray. Fill the mold with the batter and bake the cake for about 35-40 minutes. Do not open the oven during baking! The cake is ready when it feels elastic to the touch. Unmold immediately after baking and let cool on a wire rack.

Prepare 400 grams of FunCakes buttercream mix as instructed on the package, add the desired amount of pomegranate flavor to the buttercream, and color the cream red with the red coloring paste.

Cut the sponge cake in half and fill it with a layer of buttercream. Also cover the outside of the cake with a thin layer of buttercream and let it rest in the refrigerator for a while.

Fill a piping bag fitted with a no. 1M tip with the remaining buttercream and pipe swirls on the sponge cake.

Decorate the cake with the small and large stars, the white pearls, and finish the cake by placing the dried large star on top.
