Magdalena's Cakes made for SCA Events


These are cakes (some of which would qualify as subtleties) which were decorated for events held by the Barony of Cynnabar, my local branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). This is a non profit educational group which endeavors to recreate parts of the middle ages and reniassance. For more information on the SCA, follow the link at the end of this page to my Medieval Miscellany.

These pictures are in chronological order, so that if you wish you can see how I've improved over time (for example, the maypole cake is not frosted as smoothly as it should be by my current standards).

Guest Artists Spotlight: The Peep Wars

For the past several Terpsichore Dessert revels, I've done a relatively serious subtletie, and Lutr and Siubhan have done silly ones involving battling Peep marshmallow critters. I don't have photos of the first two years (so if anyone has pics of the original field battle or the bridge battle the following year, I'd love to have a copy) but here are the last three episodes of the Peep Wars series.
The Woods Battle
A Castle Siege complete with a trebuchet and boiling oil
A Jousting Tournament with a reviewing stand and chocolate armor

Modern Cakes for weddings of SCA folk


In fact, to date I have ONLY done wedding cakes for SCA friends, since cakes are a hobby for me and not a profession. I normally average about one wedding cake per year, which is plenty given the resulting stress level on my part.
