This is my first time attempting a “speciality” cake! I got inspired by Pinterest. I created a checker pattern with the cake layers, used fondant to make the squares, and melted chocolate into molds for the chess pieces. I think it turned out pretty good for a first attempt at a bunch of new things!

    I’m not a fan of white chocolate so choosing colors would be different. Winning might mean eating the opponent’s pieces, so I would want them to have the good chocolate.
