  • 1.5 oz corn starch for the cake
  • 1 pinch salt for the cake
  • 1 tsp baking powder for the cake
  • 1 tbsp milk for the cake
  • 3.5 oz soft butter for the red buttercream frosting
  • 5 oz powdered sugar for the red buttercream frosting
  • 3.5 oz cream cheese for the red buttercream frosting
  • 1 tsp red food coloring for the red buttercream frosting
  • 1 tbsp butter for the hut
  • gold and silver sugar pearls for the hut
  • sugar stars for the hut
  • Kinder bars for the doors and windows
  • melted dark chocolate for the hut
  • toothpick for the hut
  • small tweezers for the hut
  • powdered sugar for the hut
  • 2 oz sheet gelatin for the globe
  • 6 fl oz cold water for the globe
  • balloons for the globe
  • wooden stick for the globe

Instructions
 

  • Stir the butter with the sugar until foamy. Add the eggs bit by bit, then mix in the remaining ingredients in three parts. Transfer the batter to a 6-inch springform cake pan and bake the small cake at 340°F for 40 minutes. After leaving the cake to cool through, remove the top and sides of the cake. You can place a small bowl on top of the cake to help with the cutting.
  • Stir the soft butter, icing sugar, cream cheese, and food coloring powder into a red cream. Spread it onto the cake.
  • Take the cut-off pieces of cake, break them down into crumbs in a bowl, and knead them into dough with soft butter. Make a small hut using the dough, complete with roof and chimney.
  • Using the melted dark chocolate as "glue," stick on white chocolate small doors and windows; use more of the dark chocolate to create the frames. Decorate the house with sugar pearls.
  • Soften the gelatin in water and leave it for 10 minutes. Next melt it in a water bath before leaving it to cool to around 95°F again. Blow up a balloon, wipe lukewarm water onto it, and leave it to dry. Next, grease the balloon in a thin layer of oil. Immerse the balloon in the liquid gelatin twice, hang it to a clothes hanger using some string, and leave it to dry for at least 24 hours. Tip: It's best to prepare several balloons in case the gelatin globe goes awry.
  • Now carefully deflate the balloon and remove it from the gelatin globe.
  • Use a few drops of sugar syrup to stick sugar stars to the inside of the globe.
  • Now place the hut on top of the cake and sprinkle on some icing sugar snow. Place the globe on top and you're done!
