Pool Table Cake
Two layers of chocolate cake.
White icing
Divide white icing into three portions.
One portion will stay white. Some of this is used to attach the layers and holding the cups in place.
One portion will become green, using green food coloring. (Used for the "felt")
One portion will have chocolate added to make it brown for the "wood" trim.
Six chocolate liquor cups attached for the table cups. A certain portion of the cake will need to be scooped out to allow for the attachment of the cups. The gold foil of the liquor cups is left on for contrast and color.
Colored gum balls for the various balls. Paper is used to make the stripes on some of the balls, and cut-out numbers for the ball numbers.
Chocolate licorice for the triangle.
Lollipop sticks, dipped in chocolate for the pool cues.
Marshmallow for the cue ball and the aiming markings around the table.
Prune for the eight ball.
