Thumbs up Sweeet!
The Christmas season is over, but I found an LotR version of that perennial holiday favorite - gingerbread/candy house - that a fan and friends created: The Battle of Helm's Deep! The site shows pictures of a wonderfully quirky work of sub-creativity - and doesn't it look yummy too! (That's me fantasizing about helping to "dispose" of it afterwards - though it would be a shame to destroy such a fantastic scenario!)


Oh, and here's more: LotR Desserts...

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

I'm afraid davem would form a kind of metaphorical superior Orc regiment and utterly demolish Minas Tirith within hours if it was in cake form. It'd last longer if made from carrots and other vegetable matter...

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....)

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!
