Here it is from the front.
Now that I have explained [maybe unloaded] all the unpleasantness of the last 48 hours, here is the highlight of the week. Amazing! Personally, I think it’s her greatest cake ever and I’m saying that from a non-gamer, non-husband standpoint.
Here it is from the side to show the clasp and pages.
This one was done at the request of our latest D&D player and friend Leslee. She said she wanted something really nice for her birthday so Somara and Leslee discussed a design and ta dah! I never thought it would’ve come out this well. What a dope I was. I know she struggled with the gems because when I was home, I heard her frustration and I thought imitating the Players Handbook from D&D was too ambitious. Seems I forgot all about the gingerbread pirate ship from 2004. Everything but the tray the cake is on is edible.
Not quite separated at birth, many gamers found the 3.5 Edition harder to swallow.
Besides the amazing outcome and lessons learned, Somara now has the means from All-in-One Bake Shop to make more of these in the future with less fuss. She thought about posting it on enworld.org. I’m okay with that yet I’m curious if she can do this in blue for the Dungeon Master Guide.
Steve,
Please let Somara know that this is an awesome cake! If I might be so bold, how much would something like this cost? I have a friend who is hitting 40 this year, and I think a cake like this would be incredibly appropriate for him.
With Regards,
Flynn
