    Yes thanks, I've had a look and some are lovely and some are.....ummm not so lovely,:rotfl: I'm thinking plain white iced cake with a chessboard and an apple, looks the easiest.

    WOW!

    could you serve it on a chessboard? or find a way to use chess pieces to hold some candles?

    one of them looks like it has twisted red & black licorice laces entwined around the bottom
    I'd go with the plain white, the apple and board too ;)
  • I would use fondant icing and print off a picture from the web and stick it on the cake then just remove it when you slice.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    In that case, have a look at some pics and I'll write you a list of what you need to order (and I'll give you details of my suppliers!) so that you have what you need to make it!
