Make a template in the shape of the number you want.
Cut the two sheets of shortcrust pastry into the same number, twice (here, two 4s and two 0s).

Don’t worry: if you run out of room, you can gather up and reroll the pastry scraps.
Place the pastry numbers on 2 baking sheets. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Put the cream, mascarpone, bowl and whisk in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Beat the cream, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until very firm.
Place one of each number (here, a 4 and a 0) on the serving platter.
Transfer the cream mixture to a piping bag (or a freezer bag with a corner cut off), then pipe small dollops of cream over the entire surface of both numbers. Drizzle mango coulis over the cream and scatter passion fruit pulp over it.
Place the second pastry numbers on top, then pipe cream over the entire surface again. Add more mango coulis and passion fruit pulp on top.
Here we are, the number cake is ready! You can add lime zest on top or grated coconut if you like!
