Chess Cake
This is a chess themed cake made for a chess lover. When the theme of the cake was given to me, I had to take a minute to think about how I could best interpret chess in a tired cake. After a couple of minutes, I made a sketch of this cake. As at then I was not sure how everything was going to come together, but in the end of the day, it did.
The cake itself is a two tier cake which is a hybrid between my Nigerian Cake and Nigerian Wedding Cake recipes. The sponges were frosted with vanilla buttercream and the cake was decorated with marshmallow fondant.
The tiers feature silhouettes of knights on horses. A tutorial on how to make these silhouettes can be found here.
This cake can also be made in a single tier like the one below.
A tutorial on how the entire cake was made can be found here. Below are other views of it.
