You have to see the pics to truly experience it. “I used black paste food coloring from Wilton to get the black color of the cloak, also silver food color and brass luster dust and more black paste food coloring for the mask, the metallic food coloring are edilble and can be found at any cake decorating supply store…” Read the full story of the Witch-King cake at our forums!

Thanks to Ringer Mike for alerting us to some very creative ‘building’ that took place over the Holidays. The family that runs the Miss(ed) Manners Blog have re-created the entirety of The Battle of Pelennor Fields using candy. It really defies explanation, so check it out for yourself! They also created a Helm’s Deep with Candy Last year. [Pelennor Fields] [Helm’s Deep]
mudo pointed us to a web comic that we haven’t covered before, “Lord of the Rings is more or less the foundation of modern D&D. The latter rose from the former, although the two are now so estranged that to reunite them would be an act of savage madness. Imagine a gaggle of modern hack-n-slash roleplayers who had somehow never been exposed to the original Tolkien mythos, and then imagine taking those players and trying to introduce them to Tolkien via a D&D campaign.” DM of the Ring

Ostadan sent us the link to Eric Joisel’s page where he explains how to create origami versions of Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas. It is incredible, even if it doesn’t quite match your vision of the characters. [More]
