It doesn't take strategy or luck to pull together this simple checkerboard cake. When the gumdrop game pieces are in place, play a game--the winner gets the first slice.
What you'll need
- 1 baked 8-inch square cake (or 2, for a double layer)
- 6 cups white frosting
- 32 squares of red Fruit by the Foot
- 12 giant yellow gumdrops
- 12 giant green gumdrops
- Black rope licorice
How to make it
Frost the cake. Using a knife and ruler, lightly mark a grid, 8 by 8 squares. Place the fruit leather in alternating squares. Set up the gumdrop playing pieces and outline the board with licorice.
