After doing it myself I would totally agree with the previous post.

I know this is kind of late but back in Oct 2012 Denise Stacey @ Sweet Munchkins and I were emailing each other back in forth until we finally got it!!

 

here is my drawing (dont laugh)

and here is her cake

dont you just love it when a plan comes together!!

 

here are the instructions that we used....

( its two cakes on top of each other, one of them is flipped so that the two cone tips meet)

- bake 3 different color cakes ( green yellow n chocolate or black)
-carve a nice size cone in the middle of the cake (leaving an inverted cone in the center to form a "V" in the cake)...  (there should be a hole at the bottom of the "V", so that the cone tips meet)
-then fill it with thin layer of the yellow cake (yellow has to fill the hole of the chocolate cone so that it creates the 'X' shape with the other yellow part) if you like u can also try cheesecake or butter cream...
-the green cake will then fill in the remaining cone shape

now its time to flip and put some icing in between the 2 layers:
i put some icing in the middle(dont put any icing over the yellow part of the tip, so when u cut it there is not a "icing gap" then i put a cake board on top (of the non iced cake)  then i flipped it over, carefully put the other layer on top (make sure your two tips of yellow match up)


then just do your crumb coat and decorate!

 

make sure u have everything lined up and all cone sizes are the matching accordingly ( i used cookie cutters to outline my circles before cutting my cones in)

 

I hope this was not to confusing! Big thanks to Sweet Munchkins please check her out on Facebook!!

CakesbyQueata, I am a little confused by instructions.  So the drawing shows just rings or circles of different colored cake but you say a few times about cutting cones, what do you mean by that (as compared to the drawing)?  Also I could see a finished cake and would love to see how it turned out.  Also, I reread most of the thread and must have missed reading several posts before because someone said that the flag in my post was wrong and the black should be on the top and bottom, pretty much that the black and green colors needed to be switched but doing a google search of the Jamaican flags shows the black on the sides and green on the top and bottom.  I have a regular Jamaican customer which always wants the flag somewhere on the cake and has never told me it was wrong so I'm confused, which is the correct flag?
