Chess Board Cake With Pieces

This chess board cake was made with marble cake inside with chocolate buttercreme layers and frosted with chocolate buttercreme. The cake was outlined with black icing for the top and sides and bottom border in chocolate buttercreme.

I found one (1) candy mold to make the pieces, which I had to make several molds to get a complete set for both sides. The chess board was made out of white chocolate and dark chocolate candy. I used a square cookie cutter to cut the squares.

This is hands down my best piece of work. Eight hours later and the chess board cake with pieces was born. The whole cake was totally edible. Hope you all enjoy.

Some Errors
by: Darren

The bottom right hand corner of the chess board is supposed to be white, not black. Your board needs to be turned 90 degrees. Some of the squares are also too small.

Otherwise, nice work.

What a great cake!!!
by: Nancy of CA

Ann this is a beautiful cake. what a lot of work you put into it. I can see that whomever gets this cake is going to not want to cut it. How nice it is. You should be really proud of this one. Were they candy molds for the little chess pieces? I have never played chess before, but this looks like the real thing. It is just GREAT! Did you get your Fondant Recipe okay? Happy Turkey Day.
