  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • Butter cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C.

2. Grease and flour 2 cake pans.

3. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl and beat for about 1 minute with an electric mixer on low speed until combined well.

4. Add butter to the flour mixture and blend for half a minute at medium-high speed until the mixture looks like coarse sand.

5. Stir in the sugar until combined. Set aside.

6. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix with â…” cup warm water and stir for about 2 minutes until well blended.

7. Add 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture to the cake mix and blend well until combined.

8. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add 1 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the cake mix; blend for another 2 minutes on medium-high speed, or until well-blended but not overmixed.

9. Pour the mixture evenly between the greased cake pans, smoothing down the surface with a spatula to ensure even distribution.

10. Bake for about 23 minutes for rounds, 10 minutes for square, and 10 minutes for rectangular cake pans, until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean (if you are unsure if your cakes are made, insert a clean skewer).

11. Remove from oven. Place on kitchen rack and allow to cool completely before icing.

12. Prepare the frosting.

13. To decorate, place 5-centimeter round cardboard on the cake board. Place two spearmint leaves over it to form a square (the mint leaves will be used to hold up the fairy cake tops).

14. Place two mint leaves over the 8-centimeter round cardboard and top with a 15-centimeter x 50cm prepared board to create a third layer.

15. Colour all the butter cream frostings, except for approximately 100g (½ cup) of it, yellow.

16. Put all but 100g of yellow frosting in a cake decorating bag fitted with a star nozzle, and pipe swirls on the first level of your cake, covering the entire surface.

17. Leave the first layer untouched to dry.

18. Colour the rest of the butter cream frosting, except for approximately 100g of it, pink.

19. On a sheet of parchment paper or a large baking tray covered with wax paper, a pink pipe swirls over the last layer of cakes.

20. Let all three layers dry for about 2 hours before iced.

21. Meanwhile, prepare the toadstools by rolling out a yellow fruit stick in a circle of approximately 9 centimeters.

22. Use a heart-shaped cutter to cut the fruit stick into approximately 12 hearts. You could create smaller or larger toadstools by using cutters of different sizes.

23. Place two marshmallows on the prepared board and attach 2 mini heart lollies on top of each marshmallow as legs (with the point facing downwards).

24. Roll silver cachous in half and place it on the marshmallows.

25. Place two spearmint leaves (approximately 8 centimeters in diameter) on top of the toadstools, leaving a gap between them and the cachous.

26. Set aside and allow to dry overnight before icing in rainbow colors with buttercream frosting, which we’ll use to decorate the cake later.

27. You will need to prepare the butter cream frosting as follows:

  • 25-grams/1 oz butter

33. Add this mixture to half the remaining buttercream frosting and mix on low speed until well combined.

34. Add to this half of the remaining butter cream frosting and mix on low speed until well combined.

35. Add the other half of the remaining butter cream frosting and mix on low speed until well combined.

36. Add approximately 100g of the butter cream frosting to a decorating bag fitted with a star nozzle and pipe swirls on your three layers.
