Prepare 330 g FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake Deluxe according to the instructions on the packaging. Divide the batter between the baking pans and bake the cookies for about 30-35 minutes. Let them cool down by using a cooling grid.
Prepare 300 g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream according to the instructions on the packaging. Flavor the buttercream with the lemon zest Flavour Paste and colour it yellow with the food colour gel.
Cut the cookies both 2 times with the cake leveler. Stack the layers on top of each other with buttercream in between and spread the cake outside with a thin layer of buttercream. Let this set well in the refrigerator.
Apply a second thicker layer of buttercream and pull it nicely taut with the side scraper. Again, let this set well in the refrigerator. Put the remaining buttercream in a decorating bag with decorating tip #1M. Pipe a nice border or tuft on top of the cake.
Melt the 3 colours of FunCakes Deco Melts according to the package directions and pour onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Go through it with a fork or spoon to blend the colors a bit. Immediately sprinkle the sugar rods, sugar decoration flowers/roots and the confetti on top. Place this in the refrigerator and let harden.
Break the Deco Melts into pieces and stick them to the cake like a mosaic. Put a few shots of the Deco Melts on the top of the cake and decorate with edible flowers.
