Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C convection oven) and grease the baking pans with baking spray.
Prepare 400 g FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake Deluxe as indicated on the package and divide the batter between the two baking pans. Bake the cakes for about 30-35 minutes, then immediately turn them out onto a cooling grid and let it cool down.
Prepare 200 g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream as indicated on the package and flavour with the Flavour Paste of your choice.
Slice each cake into three layers using a cake leveler, fill with buttercream and jam and coat the entire cake with a layer of buttercream. Allow the cakes to firm up in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Cover the 15 cm cake with approximately 450 g FunCakes Shimmering Rose sugar paste and the 20 cm cake with about 550 g Bright White Sugar Paste.
Knead the coloured Sugar Paste until smooth, then roll them out very thin. Cut out plenty of circles and store them between plastic sheets.
Stack the cakes using appropriately cut dowels and a slightly trimmed cake board.
Take a sugar paste circle, loosely fold it in half and then fold it again loosely. Make sure to leave some ‘air’ inside. Attach it to the cake with piping gel, trimming the bottom point if needed. Use cocktail sticks to support some of the ruffles to prevent them from sliding. Once the entire cake and top edge are covered, remove the cocktail sticks after the piping gel has mostly dried. The holes from the sticks will not be visible.
