I used MS-Paint to chop out a picture of the blade of chaos that is on the cover of God of War. I enlarged it, printed it, cut it out with a scissor, and put it on top of two sheet cakes.
...
Once the cakes were cut to the right shape, I separated them and spread strawberry jam on one of them. I made my own jam by chopping a bunch of fresh strawberries and throwing them in a pot with a little sugar. I recommend making your own jam since it's pretty easy and you can control the sweetness. For more detail, e-mail me.
Then I put the un-jammed cake on top of the jammed cake and covered the entire thing with buttercream. Buttercream is just two sticks of butter and three cups of confectioner's sugar beat to hell in the mixer. That's why it's so good.
Then it was time to start rolling the fondant. I bought white fondant and colored it, hand kneading it until the color was a nice, smooth, deadly steel color. Roll it out with a little confectioner's sugar and drape it over the cake. Repeat with yellow-orange color for the handle, cut out details with a paring knife, and it's starting to look good.
Gently stick the chain into the cake, light candles, and enjoy. I contemplated adding some spatters of "blood," but since I was bringing the cake to my grandmother's house, I figured I should skip the blood.
Ares: "That night... I was trying to make you a great [cake]."
Kratos: "You succeeded."
