Cakes:How To Make A Cowboy Cake


Step 1:
You will need

* 2 Large plain sponge cakes
* Jam
* Buttercream
* Chocolate buttons
* Strawberry buttons
* Yellow colored sugar or yellow sherbet
* Cocktail sticks
* Cowboy and Indian toys


Step 2:
Jam and sponge
Sandwich your two sponge cakes together using the jam. The sticky jam will help them stay together when you put them up on end.

Step 3:
Cut and shape cake
Cut off one side of the cake so it can stand on end. Then carve it into a triangle with curved sides.

Trim the edges to make a cone shape.

Trim the off cuts into a triangular slice, and position this on end against the sides of the larger cake to enhance the shape of the cone.

Step 4:
Buttercream
Cover the whole construction with white buttercream, using a pallette knife to smooth it onto the cake.

Step 5:
Teepee
Stick five cocktail sticks into the top of the cake - these will be the poles supporting the teepee.

Press a zig-zag line of chocolate buttons into the buttercream, all the way around the bottom of the cake. Repeat this pattern higher up as well.

Finish the cake by running a knife up the center of the front panel, to give the impression of an entrance.

Sand

Spread a thin layer of buttercream over the board around the cake. Using a spoon, sprinkle yellow sugar over the buttercream to create sand. Press some cowboy and Indian figures into the sand.
