Adam's Record Player Cake

For Adam's 21st birthday, I decided to make him a record player for a cake.  Unfortunately, I had little time to make the cake, so it didn't turn out nearly as neat as I wanted it to and you probably won't recognize it as a record player.  It pretty much looks like a circle on top of a square.  Also, with my limited time, I couldn't figure out a good way to make the arm with the needle on it to make the record play, so I just left it out.

I melted chocolate and poured it into a circle to make a record.  I put it in the fridge so it would be hard and easier to transfer to the cake.

Once I put the chocolate on the cake, I iced some lines on to try to make it look more like a record.  It would have been easier if I had some sort of lazy susan to help make the circles evener.
And here's what the final cake looks like and unfortunately, Blogger doesn't want to upload my picture the proper way and wants to make only this one be weird, so I apologize for the awkwardness of it.
