Paint-splatter

cake

gel food colouring

115g (4oz) Candy Melts of each

colour

rapeseed oil, for thinning

1 Before baking the vanilla cake, evenly

divide the batter among three bowls.

Tint each bowl of bat ter a dif ferent

colour with gel food colouring. Pour a

small amount of batter, one different

colour per tin, into the three prepared

tins. Pour a second, different colour into

the centre of each pan, on top of the

first colour. Repeat, making a bull’s-eye

effect, until all the batter has been used.

2 Use a wooden skewer or the tip of a

paring knife to swirl the batter in each

pan. Bake as directed.

3 Once assembled, smoothly frost the

cake with the remaining buttercream.

4 For the paint-splatter design, put each

colour of Candy Melts in a separate bowl

and microwave according to the

instructions on the packet. Stir in a little bit

of oil, ½ tsp at a time, to thin as needed.

5 Line your workspace with parchment

paper. Dip a spoon into one of the

melted candy coatings and swiftly fling

the coloured coating onto the cake.

Create splatters of the various colours

all around the top and sides of the cake.
