Prepare 250 g FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake Deluxe as indicated on the package. Grease the baking pan with FunCakes Bake Release Spray and place an parchment of baking paper on the bottom. Spoon the batter into the baking pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes until done. Let the cake cool down by using a cooling grid.
Prepare 300 g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream is indicated on the package and flavour it with the FunCakes Flavour Paste Rose.
Cut the sponge cake in half with the cake leveler and fill and spread all around with a layer of Buttercream and put in the fridge.
Divide the buttercream into 5/6 portions and color it with the FunCakes Food Color Gel. Prepare 2 decorating bags per colour of buttercream (except for green) with couplers and tip #104 and #012. Put the green buttercream in a decorating bag with coupler and #352. Cut from parchment paper small squares of 4×4 cm.
Stick a small square of parchment paper on the flower nail with a little buttercream. Swirl with #012 a pyramid-shaped tuft 1 cm high. Spray a ribbon around the tuft with #104. Make sure the thick side of the tip is pointing down. Now make a second row of 3 leaves of 1.5 cm around the tuft. After this make a row of 5 petals of 1.5 cm around the previous row of petals. Finally, make a row of 7 petals of 1.5 cm around the previous row of petals. Carefully remove it with the parchment paper from the flower nail and place on a plate. In this way, make as many roses as you think you will need in different colours. Place the plate of roses in the freezer for a few hours, this way you can easily position them on your cake.
