The Cupcakes of Nosgoth

You may or may not know that the Pillars of Nosgoth were an important landmark in Legacy of Kain. I did not know this until I needed to make this cake. It started off as Pillars, which quite frankly scared me slightly. So the idea evolved and a new plan formed. Who needs pillars anyway? Cupcakes are always better.

 I started off by cutting into the cake to make the shape I needed

I then made the mini cupcakes and covered them in white roll out icing. On top of each cupcake I placed a circle of colour that represented each pillar and added the pictures that symbolise what each pillar means.

I covered the main cake itself in grey butter icing and made the weird black thing in the middle of the Pillars, then painted the symbols in gold.

I then made a little sign to name the cake (just in case the recipient was in any doubt over what this cake represented!) and I was done!

This was the first cake that involved a cake as well as cupcakes, they had to be stabilised with cocktail sticks, but I was pleased with the end result and our friend loved it!
