You will need two 20cm (8") round plain Madeira cakes or chocolate sponges to form the base. Simply cut each sponge into 4 or 6 'wedges' depending on the final shape you prefer ... thin or thick. Stack wedges on top of one another using filling in between if you wish.

To decorate and finish you will need:
 1 packet Orchard White Icing 
1 packet Orchard Chocolate Icing 
Yellow food colouring and sugar syrup. 

Ice & Decorate:
First knead white icing with yellow food colouring and roll out into a long strip roughly the area and size of the two sides of the slice. Coat one side of icing with sugar syrup and place the wedge on its side onto the coated icing. Trim off excess on one side, which becomes the bottom of the cake, and the back. Allow approx ½ cm icing and fold over top edge of wedge to ensure icing does not slip down sides of cake slice.

Now fold the remaining icing up and along the second side of the wedge and trim off excess icing. Stand the wedge upright. For the top and back, knead the chocolate icing and roll out. Lift and lay over top of wedge and allow to fall down the back. Trim off flush with sides. Smooth down top and back and trim off excess on the back of the wedge. Using the chocolate icing off-cuts, form strips to create the cake ‘layers’ and droplets. Apply using sugar syrup. Piece of cake really!
