This chess cake was very easy to make. It is chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling. The pieces are dark and white chocolate. The flavor was simple and one dimensional unlike the complex game with its special setup, complicated movement, daunting tactics and strategies all under a time control. It sounds so much like life where our moves and decisions have good or bad consequences and we face wins and losses. At times our best decisions can bring out negative outcomes; at times we must make sacrifices. We are like pieces that must keep moving though life and eventually end up in a box when time is up.
So in this board game of life let's hope to be the kings and queens of our domains…. meet that knight in shining armor… live in the castle of our dreams…….. all in chocolate.
Really nice, did they play a game before eating it?
ReplyDeleteThey planned to play a game and eat up each other's pieces.
ReplyDeleteBut a typical 7 year old's birthday party is hardly disciplined like the game............ people just grabbed the pieces as soon as the cake was cut.
Dear Neelum,
ReplyDeleteI have always admired your cake creations. The Chess Cake is no different. What impressed me most is the use of anology of life with the chess game.
The Muizz family comprises of intellectuals and brilliant minds. I miss my teacher Shiekh sahib. Hope all is well in the family.
With our fondest regards,
Farkhanda and Basharat
And yet another wonderful creation!!
