A chocolate frosted cake
A cheese grater
A large block of dark chocolate
4 lady fingers
strawberry jelly (or red jelly beans)
Tube of cut and bake sugar cookies
Directions:
Very carefully, shape the fingernails on the ends of the lady fingers with the jelly and set aside to dry (if you prefer, you can cut jelly beans in half and use as fingernails)
Cut an inch thick slab of sugar cookie dough off the roll and cut into the shape of a gravestone
With a toothpick, press the lettering into the dough
Bake the gravestone in the oven till it is hard, but not browned (it needs to stay white)
Cut the ends off the lady fingers and gently work them down into the icing till they are anchored securely
Secure the gravestone in the icing next to the fingers
Grate the block of chocolate, using all the different grater sizes.
Gently pat the chocolate curls all over the surface of the cake
(you can just do the top and leave the sides alone, if you prefer)
