Look at the detail on this statue of Alduin, the badass villain of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The plated scales, the individual teeth, the glowing red eyes, the curled tongue. Itās insane.
Now, know that the inscription on the base reads āHappy Birthday Timā.
Yup. This is a cake
It wasnāt meant for looking. It was meant for eating. Which means this thing doesnāt even exist anymore. Thereās these photos, Timās memory of the most amazing cake heāll ever see, let alone eat, andā¦thatās it.
I should be sad, but at least we have the photographic record.
It was made of four 13ā³x18ā³ sheets of chocolate cake, soaked in strawberry syrup, and sandwiched with bittersweet strawberry ganache (5 lbs of chocolate). Alduinās core is made of modeling chocolate. His scales, horns, and spikes are made from gum paste. The double-sided wings are half-and-half (fondant/gum paste).
