Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF/Gas 4) and generously coat the savarin tin (mold) with butter.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar, and whisk until light and fluffy.

  3. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, incorporating a spoonful of flour with each egg. Gently fold in the remaining flour, baking powder, and salt, being careful not to overmix. If the mixture appears stiff, add milk.

  4. Transfer the batter to the cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer or cocktail stick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before transferring it to a wire rack.

  5. In a separate bowl, combine the icing sugar, vanilla bean paste, and half of the milk. Stir well.

  6. Gradually add the remaining milk while stirring, until a smooth mixture is achieved. Add a drop of pink food coloring and mix well. Set aside.

  7. Divide the fondant into four equal pieces and color each piece with a different shade of food coloring.

  8. Using your hands, shape each colored fondant piece into small sausage shapes, approximately 1 1/4 cm (1/2 in) in width. Use a sharp knife to cut 3 cm (1 1/4 in) lengths from each sausage shape, creating giant sprinkles
