No one wants to do our Minas Tirith cake. The person Missi found asked the San Diego cake club she's a member of and no one wanted to deal with it. They thought it was too big of a project and too expensive.

Goddammit.

I wouldn't think the expensive part would be up to them, I mean if you are willing to spend the money shouldn't that be your choice? Stupid non creative people...

*raises hand* I CAN BAKE!

This may be a cheesy alternative--

But why not make a Minas Tirith mini-scuplture from Sculpty or whatever to put on the top of the cake you can get made? You could even make a little tree. Or you could put it on another layer of the cake.

Seriously, I think it is a cool idea, an interesting challenge, and those people are wusses. I hope something works out for you!

Poor people. You blew the breakers in their brains.

I have no idea if this helps you at all, Caitlin, but I found a good overall photo of the Minas Tirith model.

I can't believe anyone would think it's 'too big', unless they're just unartistic. The cliff is just sloppily done chocolate frosting (to create rocky look) over cardboard, the sides are those edible print-out sheets (since the pattern is repeated, and you can either use screencaps or trace a pattern and scan it in) and the top will be so small, you could do it simple and no one will care. Screencap printouts pasted on thin cardboard, even.

Personally, it sounds a lot easier than making dozens of small roses, leaves, and whatnot with frosting. :)
