4 layers of 6" chocolate cake w/ vanilla buttercream and chocolate chips. The bar the mug is sitting on is 9x13 cake with white and milk chocolate melted and slightly mixed together smoothed over. then I ran a toothpick over to expose the chocolate cake underneath for a "woodgrain" effect. It's kinda hard to see in picture unfortunately. I used white chocolate for the handle but was kinda heavy. chocolate covered pretzels and a real, empty can complete the look.
