Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a square baking pan.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely.
-
Once the cake has cooled, cut it into small squares.
-
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with a few drops of water to make a thick icing.
-
Divide the icing into separate bowls and add food coloring to each bowl to create different colors.
-
Dip each cake square into the icing, ensuring all sides are coated. Place on a wire rack to set.
-
Heat the apricot jam in a small saucepan and brush it over the top of each cake square.
-
Roll out the marzipan and cut it into small squares, slightly larger than the cake squares. Place a marzipan square on top of each cake square.
-
Roll out the fondant icing and cut it into squares, slightly larger than the marzipan squares. Place a fondant icing square on top of each cake square.
-
Allow the fondant fancies to set for at least 1 hour before serving.
