Chinese Checker Cake

by Kelly
(Van Buren, Arkansas USA)

To make this Chinese checker cake, I used a boxed mix and baked according to directions.

I used the flat round wilton pan for cookies and made 2 layers with one cake mix.

I iced between the layers using buttercream icing.

I used my real chinese checker board for the guide and used red, blue, violet, yellow, orange and green and white for the board. Then, I outlined it
in thinned out black icing.

I used round tip #3 and #1 and star tip #32 to cover outside the checker board.

For the 'marbles' I used gum balls!

I tested them and they also fit on the real checker game! How cool!

I've had this idea for some time and finally found the time to try it.
