Decoration

Step by step method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 23cm x 23cm with a height of 7cm cake pan and a 20cm diameter cake pan with baking paper. Grease with Stork. Â
  2. For the square cake; cream eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together. Heat the milk and Stork in a saucepan over medium heat until melted, but do not boil. Add the vanilla essence.
  4. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Add the Stork mixture and stir until well combined.
  5. Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
  6. For the round cake; cream eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  7. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together. Heat the milk and Stork in a saucepan over medium heat until melted, but do not boil. Add the vanilla essence.
  8. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Add the Stork mixture and stir until well combined. Pour into prepared oven tray. Â Bake for 30-35 minute or until golden brown.
  9. For the icing; whisk the Stork in an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Sift in the icing sugar and whisk further until smooth. Add the vanilla essence. Keep 250ml of white icing aside.
  10. Colour the remaining icing with pink food colouring.
  11. Ice the cakes with a thin layer white icing, to create the top coat. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the icing is set.
  12. Ice the square cake with the pink icing. Place the round cake on top and ice with the remaining pink icing.
  13. For the royal icing; whisk the egg whites, lemon juice and icing sugar until smooth.
  14. Dip the top of the cones into the royal icing. Sprinkle with hundreds-and-thousands and top with paper flags.
  15. Place the cones around the cake to create the towers.
  16. Slice the top corners in an angle off the white chocolate Kit Kat and place in the front of the cake to create the entrance. Place the two spiral marshmallows on the side of the 'door' to create pillars.
  17. Decorate the cake with Jelly Tots, sugar Flowers and princess gums sweets.
