Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C).
Prepare 500 g FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes as indicated on the package. Grease the tube pan with baking spray, scoop the batter into the tube pan and bake the cake for about 55-60 minutes. Let the tube cake cool down by using a cooling grid.
Prepare 200 g of FunCakes Mix for Buttercream as indicated on the package. Divide the buttercream into several portions and color with the colored gels.
Make flowers with the different tips on the flower nail. Make sure you have piece of baking paper of 5×5 cm glued on the nail, so you can easily place them on a plate. When you have made all the flowers, put them in the freezer so that you can easily stick them on your cake.
Heat some dip ‘n drip in the microwave for 10 seconds and put it in a decoaring bag. Let the drip slide down the edge of the tube cake and let it dry. Pipe a ring of buttercream on top of the tube cake (the color doesn’t matter) and carefully attach the frozen buttercream flowers to it. The flowers have thawed in half an hour and the cake is ready to cut.
