Polyjuiced
Organized by: Timi Grant and The Cake Collecive
The idea was inspired by the Polyjuice potion from Harry Potter´s book. So, every sugar artist had to blend together two characters or two things from the Harry Potter universe.
My idea was to create a crest mixing Harry´s two possible houses Gryffindor and Slytherin. That is how ” Slythffindor” came to be.
Lord Of The Rings Cake Collaboration
Organized by: Gauri Kekre and The Cake Collective
A tribute to The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien.
My piece was inspired by the sword of Anduril previously known as Narsil the sword of Isildur´s that was used to defeat Sauron. I represent the pieces of the broken blade and the scene of the movie when Aragorn holds Anduril for the first time.
