Well, that's nice. Ours, as I said, was four feet long and had some complexities to it: the meat was made of fruitcake baked in many disks of varying sizes, each with a hole in the middle. When they were assembled, they were glued together with (IIRC) plain white frosting, but the spinal column running through the segments was marzipan; so were the bright green scales that covered it. We borrowed somebody's great shield to carry it in on. There were only about a hundred people at the feast, so there were lots of leftovers for people to take home and dream of dragons on. So it was not only dessert, it was a subtlety. Subtletys are hard work, so they don't happen very often (modulo the Mock Boar's Head appearing every fall at the Boar's Hunt). Karen Anderson made an elaborate gingerbread castle one Twelfth Night, with figures from _The Incomplete Enchanter_ welcoming Cambell (gyronny of eight, sable and argent) to the castle. (John W. Campbell Jr. had just died.) I did a ring-mold of forcemeat once, covered with pastry (sculped by my artistic son) and filled with saffron rice decorated with bits of candied fruit: the dragon guarding his treasure. And both my daughter and I, at our respective weddings, had a cake of many small layers, representing that medieval concept, knights attacking the Castle of Love and ladies defending it with flowers. (We got professional bakers to do those.) -- Dorothy J. Heydt Vallejo, California djheydt at gmail dot com
