The Fire-Breathing Smaug Cake Celebrates 'The Hobbit' Movie
Meghan Young — June 19, 2013 — Lifestyle
The latest instalment of 'The Hobbit' trilogy, 'The Desolation of Smaug,' might not be released in theaters until the end of the year, but that doesn't mean people can't start celebrating with the Fire-Breathing Smaug Cake. In a way, the breath-taking dessert requires a celebration itself. Incredibly detailed, the fact that it actually breaths fire is more of the icing on the cake than the actual icing.
The Fire-Breathing Smaug Cake was baked by Hobbit Fan of the Week Zion. She created it for her son's birthday. An amazing feat, it was probably all his friends could talk about afterwards. If Zion decides to capitalize on the striking Fire-Breathing Smaug Cake, she could easily take commissions. Although she might get bogged down the closer it gets to December.
