Archery themed cake – need guidance on one item!

Good evening,

I am working on a “Green Arrow” themed cake and want to make a few arrows using dowel rods in the bullseye on top of the cake. I have been searching for information on how to get the pieces to stick to the side of the dowel rod at the top of the arrow.

Would I cut the gumpaste shape the thickness of the dowel and let sit then attach using gum glue.

Appreciate any guidance.

Thank you

Thank you for the response and link. I used dowel rod, a teardrop cutter and gumpaste. The arrows came out great as well as the cake!

Hi Swinbley

Have a look at the following arts and crafts guide:

DIY | Cupid’s Arrow Cake Topper

Use the guide but use edible components with your dowel. You could use gumpaste to make the quiver or it could be made with wafer paper. For glue, melt a little white chocolate and place it in a small parchment piping bag. Cut off a small tip to release the chocolate and use for sticking the quivers. I Hope this makes sense. Please let me know if you’re fine with the information. 🙂
