You Will Need (5 things)

  • 1 block White Chocolate
  • 2 packets Chocolate Fudge Buttercream Frosting
  • 3 packets different Sprinkles
  • 3 packets Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 4 block Milk Chocolate

Steps (7 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    Firstly, bake 2 of the cake mixes as per instructions

  2. 2

    Cut each cake in half and fill with buttercream, then stack the two cakes on top of each other and again fill with buttercream.

  3. 3

    Cover the outside of the cake in buttercream (smooth to form a base for decoration). Then using a piping bag and star nozzle create rows of stars until just the sides are covered.

  4. 4

    To make balls on top:
    Bake the last packet of cake mix. Once cooked allow to cool. As soon as it is cool crumble into a bowl and add about 1-2 tablespoons of buttercream until it forms a firm dough. Roll into balls and dip in melted chocolate. Place on a sheet of non stick paper and decorate with sprinkles. Leave to set.

  5. 5

    Once the chocolate balls have set place on the top of cake (you wont have used all the balls so set the spares to once side for a sneaky treat!)If needed secure them with a blob of buttercream.

  6. 6

    Prep: lay grease proof paper over a flat baking tray.
    Melt the white chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Once melted pour into a piping bag. Pipe around the bottom of the cake. Now create any addtional details. I like to pipe numbers onto the baking tray so that they can go into the freezer then stuck onto the cake.

  7. 7

    Your cake is now complete :) Enjoy!
