Pelennor Fields in candy

[dish]

I think this (http://missedmanners.wordpress.com/2008/01/03/the-battle-of-pelennor-fields/) was a very cool use of the winter holidays. And it shames me for my lack of creativity.

[Narmoth]

Really nice. But that would ahve taken a lot of time to make

Sweeties....:smalleek:

So...many...SWEETIES! :smallbiggrin:

*stares* I so want to make something like that. Or eat something like that. <.< >.>

[Exachix]

It's mostly want to eat isn't it?

I think... what would be cool, is to make a cake castle...

I'd want to make it as well! Nothing as satisfying as eating something you made. :smallbiggrin:

There is always eating what other people have made, without their permission, of course. Because frankly, it wouldn't be quite the fun to ask before you're eating your little sister's birthday cake all on your own.

[Dallas-Dakota]

I would make something like that, only my patience would fail me and I would eat the whole thing in advance before finishing and making pictures of it...

I an remember quite some foodstuffs I tried to make that wouldn’t be fun at all to eat.

That does look cool in some disturbing way. The attention they paid to detail is actually pretty impressive.

I want to say something sarcastic along the lines of "Yay, playing with food". But I don't want to be seen as overly negative. Still, I think this should be done with non-edible materials.

I think this should be done with non-edible materials.

If you wanted to keep it, I guess more permanent materials would be suitable, but there's a long tradition of edible art. Everyone's heard of gingerbread houses, but did you know that one of the sculptures included in the Royal Academy of Art's summer show last year was made of fruitcake and marzipan (http://www.rachelmount.com/exhibitions.html)? (It's the bureau - the last in the series of pictures on that page.)

Hmm...I live in a country where baking ingredients are hard to come by, and I only have a 13inch toaster oven, but you may have inspired me there... It would certainly require creativity to manage that.

And all i got was a witches' house from my grandpa. :smallfrown:

But this also reminded me of... The Discworld Cake! (http://homepages.tesco.net/~janefisk/discworld/discworld.htm)

Awesome.

You have way too much free time.

[North]

Thats quite awesome. I could never build that my appetite would betray me.

Also, you know, the thing about playing with food and being there people in the world with nothing to eat and all that. But don't mind me. I'm the one spoiling the fun here.

Also, you know, the thing about playing with food and being there people in the world with nothing to eat and all that.People don't starve because there isn't enough food (well, not recently, anyway), people starve because they can't obtain it.

[Pyro]

That is so cool. These people should totally make a death star next.

[Rare Pink Leech]

That's ... impressive. I can't imagine how much time (and money) they spent making that.

I also looked at their pictures of Helm's Deep from last year, and I must say that the Pelennor Fields looks much better. Has a lot to do with the fact that Minas Tirith is visually stunning, whereas the wall in Helm's Deep is just plain white.
