Split and
fill the cake with butter icing and put on to
the board. Brush with jam and cover with
marzipan. Color some of the sugar-paste icing
black, a small piece red and the remaining
yellow. Cover the cake with black sugar-paste
icing. Cut a 20cm/8in circular template out of
greaseproof paper. Fold it in quarters, then
divide each quarter into fifths.
Using the
template, mark the centre and wedges on the top of
the cake with a sharp knife. Cut out ten wedges from
the yellow sugar-paste , using the template as a
guide. Place on alternate sections but do not stick
in place yet. Repeat with the black sugar-paste .
Cut 3mm off each wedge and swoop the colors. Mark a
8cm/5in circle in the centre of the board and cut
out 3mm pieces to swoop with adjoining colors.
Stick in place and use an icing smoother to flatten.
Use the cutter to
remove the centre for the bull's eye. Replace with a
circle of red sugar-paste , cut with the same cutter.
Surround it with a strip of black sugar-paste . Roll
the remaining black sugar-paste into a long sausage
to fit round the base of the cake and stick in place
with a little water. Mark numbers on the board and
pipe on with royal icing. Leave to dry then paint
with silver food coloring. Stick candles in at an
angle to resemble darts.
