Sir,
Why, it's a disgrace! Encouraging children to play with their food? If I had done such a thing I would have been sent to bed without any supper! I think Anne Widdecombe should be told and then heads will roll. The youth of today don't know they have been born. Yours, Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells. *** That just beats hands down my childhood efforts at making 'authentic' farmland scenes in my dinner by ploughing fields in my mashed potatoes and adding broccoli hedgerows and carrot dry stone walls. Fabulous.

Fantastic- my cousin did a cake for her daughter's 18th birthday last month of Discworld balanced on the Great A tuin and supported by 4 fondant elephants. It was so wonderful we couldn't bear to cut it. I wonder if for my birthday ..well I wouldn't expect ALL of Middle Earth as a cake ..but Rivendell or Caras Galadhon would be nice ...
And for the matrimonially inclined how about Minas Tirith formed with a 7 tiered wedding cake.... Lal ..I think that is the way to go

Personally I'd be quite tempted by a Dead Marshes cheese fondue with bits of garlic floating in it to represent the dead Elveses...

Following the links around the internet, I found another goodie: Shelob cake. Now isn't that appetizing?!

My last birthday my father (
 ) and my little sister made me a cake that looked like the map of Middle-Earth. (The chocolate-mountains were really cool... and tasted great!) They had the birthday candles set in important places, such as Hobbiton, Minas Tirith, Edoras, Esgaroth, Barad-dûr... It was very fine, a bit too big (they wanted it big enough to show the details) and I'm very sad I didn't take a photo of it! (Hope they'll make me a new one some year....)

  (ENVY!!!)The only similar thing I remember in my life was me trying to make lembas when I was about 9 years old... I still wonder by what miracle our kitchen didn't catch fire... and that it was almost edible in the end (although it was probably as close to lembas as to a baked balrog wing... no wonder, since I made the recipe myself...).

Was it an extra big flaming eye candle for Barad-dur? Well done Noggie and Sister of Lommie.. I have decided that a Cerin Amroth cake would be great - fulfilling my profound longing for mellyrn in combination with a cake that could be eaten (the hill bit saing the sugar craft trees) .... And Lal..wouldn't attacking a cake Minas Tirith be so much more fun than most wedding receptions? You could have load little catapaults with maltesers for added chocolate ... But if you won't have it as a wedding cake .. how about a confectionery based reconstruction of the battle of the Pellenor Fields as an Oxonmoot event ..... got to be better than that chap's singing .

I'm all for some messing about with food at Oxonmoot! Can we involve some bacon and cheese as I'm partial to me savouries? I could make Cheesestring ropes, pork pie rock missiles, and chicken wing fell beasts. Tell you what, the Dark side can be savoury and Gondor can be sweet! The Dead Army can be represented by me, hoovering up all that meat and cheese...and to keep davem happy, we shall represent the River Anduin with a trail of Hobgoblin ale with little boats made from cheese Doritos and Mars bars. Listen, some macrobiotic food made of mung beans and carpet would be better than that singing... This is a very good idea!

As long as we're linking to caloric LotR versions, here's another: Lord of the Peeps.
Oh, the Minas Tirith wedding cake idea is splendid, Mithalwen!
