Ladybird Party Cake
Built on a simple lemon cake, this birthday treat becomes a ladybird thanks to the rounded shell shape given by the Football Mould. All that remains is to cover the dome with red sugarpaste, then add black spots, legs and a head.

Ingredients
Method
Set the fan oven to 170 °C (340 °F) so it can preheat.
Whisk together the cornflour, vanilla sugar, baking powder, sugar and flour in the Tupperware Mixing Bowl 3.25 l.
Work in the butter, then the zest, then the eggs, beating briskly until the batter is smooth.
Pour the mixture into the Tupperware Football Mould placed on the cold oven rack and bake for about 50 minutes. Turn out, then let it cool completely.
Coat the cake with a thin layer of jam. Roll out the red sugarpaste into a 28 cm (11 in) circle on the Tupperware pastry sheet with the Modulo rolling pin, then cover the cake with it, pressing it on firmly.
Roll out the black sugarpaste the same way and cut out the head, spots, legs and pupils. Fix them onto the red shell, saving the white paste for the eyes, then push the vanilla pods in as antennae.
