Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C) grease the baking pan with baking spray.
Prepare 150 g FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake Deluxe as indicated on the packaging. Spoon the batter into the baking pan and bake the sponge cake for about 30-35 minutes until done. After baking, immediately dump onto a cooling grid and leave to cool.
Prepare 125 g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream as indicated on the packaging. Flavour the buttercream with the flavouring paste.
Cut the sponge cake with the cake saw twice and fill and spread thinly with buttercream all around. Let the cake set in the fridge. Colour the rest of the buttercream with the Red Earth colour gel and put it in a decorating bag with nozzle #1M.
Knead the Old Rose sugar paste well and roll it out to a thickness of about 2-3 mm and line the cake with it. Make a decorative border from the Red Earth sugar paste using the largest size of string from the mould and stick this along the bottom edge of the cake with some edible glue.
Roll out a piece of Red Earth sugar paste and use this to cut out a heart (size of your choice) and use the fun fonts to press a text into it. Use the brush and gold paint to colour in the letters. Stick this heart onto the cake with some edible glue.
Pipe small tufts of buttercream along the top edge of the cake. Put some bordeaux pearls in a plastic bag, add some ruby dust powder and shake. Place the pearls on a tuft of cream.
