Hey all, I’ve never played this game and have been asked to create a cake [edit:partially] on theme. No specified edition. Have made a set of terrain pieces, but what does this really need to be obviously C&C rather than any other hex game?

There are two aesthetics: C&C versus C&C Red Alert.
C&C uses Tiberium, factions are GDI vs Nod, iconic Nod structure is the Obelisk, iconic character is Kane.
C&C Red Alert uses gold+gems, factions are Allies vs Soviets, iconic Soviet defensive structure is the Tesla Tower, iconic character is Tanya.
I’d say mixing aesthetics would look odd to a fan, so probably best to pick one. If you don’t know which is preferred, C&C (non-red alert) is probably the safer choice.
Updated info is Red Alert 2. I’m changing goggles to monocle, anything else?
Is the monocle a reference to a particular character? Oh, like the guy on the box art? Hah, I’m not even sure what that character is supposed to be.
Iconic Red Alert 2 stuff would probably be:
The money you gather in RA2 is mostly gold ore, with some gems. I expect some yellow sprinkles with a patch of primary-colored sprinkles would be good for this.
Ah well, if Red Alert 2 is the game requested, then there are multiple iconic things possible:
Tesla Coil as building
Kirov Airship as maybe most iconic unit
Yuri is probably the most iconic face for Red Alert 2.
As Easter egg you could put a tree on there as well, as the game has the Mirage tank, which can disguise itself as a tree.
This game has no tiberium and neither GDI nor NOD though, so maybr you hide that at the bottom as Easter egg (since Tiberium and the original C&C timeline is the foundation of Red Alert)
