Chessboard cake with chocolate pieces. They actually played a game before eating the pieces they captured!


Proud of this one. As much as I hate working with chocolate, it all worked out. Chess piece chocolate molds worked wonderfully. Hand panted chessboard on modeling chocolate (since they hate fondant. LOL).

    Oh wow. This looks amazing! Where did you find molding for those pieces? I can only imagine how long this took.

    This is so awesome and I LOVE that they actually played a game with it.

    I can see a hilarious situation
    “ OK I got my pawn across the board now give me my queen back.”
    “Shit, I already ate it though”

    Very very cool! I love playable cakes – I once made a huge playable angry birds cake with a slingshot to launch the fondant birds.

    Working with chocolate can be such a nightmare, but you absolutely nailed it! The hand painted details on the modeling chocolate are stunning. Amazing work!

    my 8 year old son has been pestering me to teach him how to bake so he can make a chessboard cake. I’ve been putting him off because I wasn’t sure how to do the pieces. Thank you for sharing your efforts!
