Here's how it works
Make a sponge cake, fill the baking tins up to about 2/3 full and bake in the oven according to the recipe.
Take the cakes out of the mould and let them cool down on a grate, then cut the bottom with a long knife. Roll out the coloured sugar mixture into small bottles, place them over the cakes and press them down carefully. Form circles, rolls and strips of sugar mass and place them on the cakes. For sticking, moisten the sugar mass with a brush and water.

- 500 g icing sugar
- 50 g honey
