Description

Yes, this is a cake. Yes, even the "dragon" eggs are completely edible.
All the decorations are made of sugarpaste and coloured with edible colours.
I baked this chocolate sponge cake and decorated it with FedeMidnight :iconfedemidnight: last week. The decoration took us a full day of work, but it was worth it... for the 18th birthday of our friend Ilaria ♥

I think this is my very first cake that doesn't even look like a cake, so I'm very proud of it, especially for the details of the dragon eggs: I cared a lot about the adhesion of the description in the book.
In fact...
"They were the most beautiful things she had ever seen, each different than the others, patterned in such rich colours that at first she thought they were crusted with jewels, and so large it took both of her hands to hold one. She lifted it delicately, expecting that it would be made of some fine porcelain or delicate enamel, or even blown glass, but it was much heavier than that, as if it were all of solid stone. The surface of the shell was covered with tiny scales, and as she turned the egg between her fingers, they shimmered like polished metal in the light of the setting sun. One egg was a deep green, with burnished bronze flecks that came and went depending on how Dany turned it. Another was pale cream streaked with gold. The last was black, as black as a midnight sea, yet alive with scarlet ripples and swirls." (A Game of Thrones, George R.R. Martin)

Enjoy :)
