My boys have been playing chess since they were fairly young... Can't remember now when they started to learn. Anyway. I thought it would be fun to do a chess cake.
It was a lot of work. Simple, but time consuming. I purchased a candy mold off Amazon.com for pretty cheap, around $5 or so. Then I used chocolate chips (regular and white) for the candy... I melted in microwave & filled the molds. refridgerated. TEDIOUS.
For the board, I made two marshmallow fondants. The white is pretty easy. The chocolate was very, very difficult! Don't think I will do it again using that recipe anyway.
The very fun thing is after the candles were blown out, the boys played a game of chess! Definitely one of my favorite cakes that I have made. Worth the work!!
