Step 1: You will need

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 runing a knife up the centre of the front panel, to give the impression of an entrance.

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.
