  2. Grease and line a 6 inch baking tin with a loose bottom
  3. Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and light (about 5 mins)
  4. Add a spoonful of the flour, 2 tps of vanilla extract and the eggs and beat well for a few minutes
  5. Fold in the flour and then add the blue food colouring - as much as you need to make a 'Frozen' blue coloured batter
  6. Pour half the batter in the tin and cook until risen and cooked right through - approx 35-40 minutes
  7. Once cooled, remove fron the tin, clean and re grease and line and add the remaining batter and cook again.
  8. Once the second sponge is cooked, allow to cool and then remove from the tin.
  9. Meanwhile to make the frosting:
  10. Melt the white chocolate and then add the buttercream and cream cheese and beat well
  11. Cut each sponge, when fully cooled, in half so you end up with 4 layers.
  12. Sandwich each one with jam and place onto your serving plate/board
  13. Cover all over with just enough of the frosting to cover the cake, and make it as smooth as possible
  14. Place the cake in the fridge for an hour to set
  15. Then cover the chilled cake with as much of the frosting that you need
  16. Decorate with the decorations
  17. Also add some of the frosting to the board/plate so that you can then stick the figurines into it to keep them in place.
  18. Add your candle and leave in the fridge until it is required.
