Instructions
Step 1
Mix sponge ingredients and put in to 2 x 8 inch round tins. Bake for 25-30 mins.
Step 2
Mix butter cream together.
Step 3
Trim cakes, fill with jam and butter cream, crumb coat and place on board. Knead white icing until smooth and pliable on a clean work surface, dust the surface with icing sugar and roll out. Cover cake and board with the white icing.
Step 4
Knead the yellow icing and roll into a golf ball size for the Snitch, and you can add edible gold dust afterwards. Use a template for the wings and cut them out from rice paper. You can make the scarf from ruby red and yellow icing, and the glasses from jet black icing.
Step 5
Mould sorting hat from RKT, crumb coat and cover with brown icing. Use your hands to gently shape the creases of the hat.
Step 6
Place decorations on top of your white cake and board.
