Step 1. Baking And Creating a Rippled Effect
.
If you have never used Sattina cake mixes before, they are deliciously moist and super easy to use as you simply add water, mix and bake!
.
Preheat the oven to 150C and grease the tin with Release-A-Cake or brush with softened butter sprinkled with flour over the top. Follow the instructions on the box for the correct quantity of water and mix on medium speed for approximately 5 minutes. Pour half the cake mix into another bowl and colour with Wilton Pink paste colouring, then start layering the two bowls of cake mix alternately into the tin until three quarters full.
.
Now take a skewer or chopstick and swirl it around the mixture in the tin a few times to create a marbled effect. Bake in the preheated oven checking after 40 minutes – you will know when the cake is cooked when a skewer pushed into the centre of the cake comes out clean! Leave for 5 minutes then turn out to cool.

Handy Tip
Paste colourings are stronger than liquid colours so take care when adding colour into your cake mix. Remember you can always add more colour but you can’t take it away so add the colouring a little at a time and stir well before adding more!
.
Step 2. Adding A Drip Effect
.
For the drip effect, follow the instructions on the Sattina so simple drip icing by pouring it into a microwavable bowl and heating for approximately 10 seconds in a microwave. Drip icing starts to set the minute it cools down so quickly add some pink colouring and swirl around with a palette knife or skewer.
.
.
Pour the drip icing into a disposable piping bag then cut the tip off the bag about 5-8mm across and pour over the cake in a backward and forward action so that the drips flow down both sides of the cake.
.
.
Handy Tip
If the drip icing starts to set too quickly before pouring into the piping bag, just pop it back into the microwave for a few more seconds.
.
Step 3. A Scattering Of Sprinkles
.
As soon as you have finished pouring the drip icing over, take your sprinkles and scatter them onto the icing while it is still sticky.
.
.
Handy Tip
If your drip icing sets firm before you can add the sprinkles, brush over with edible glue then scatter with sprinkles!
.
