23. Step 23:

    

    Set aside the finished cakes on the cake to cool.

24. Step 24:

    

    In the meantime, you can prepare a template for cutting out cake details from pies. To do this, draw a circle on a piece of paper with a pencil around the baking dish.

25. Step 25:

    

    Mark the middle of the circle with a ruler and divide the radius with the same marks into 3 equal parts. Draw smaller circles of marked radii from the middle of a large circle with a compass.

27. Step 26:

    

    Fold the sheet in half in the middle of the circles.

28. Step 27:

    

    And cut the shape as in the photo.

    Here are the details

36. Step 35:

    

    For assembling a chess cake.

    Insert a medium vanilla circle into a large chocolate circle.

    And insert a chocolate disk into it.

43. Step 42:

    

    Same for all other parts.
