The Smaug one is particularly amazing! Why are such awesome cakes on a site called "cakewrecks"?

The awesome person who maintains that blog periodically makes a post highlighting stunningly beautiful cakes to counter the usual posts about hilariously awful cakes.

Destroying the book to make this seems very wrong to me.

Yeah, I am always uncomfortable with art made by destroying books.

Yes. I might have to break it for things I really need which have gone kaput this year, like my black flats. But this....

Also saying as a freelance writer that books (and magazines and newspapers) are tax deductible. Any books/magazines/newspapers. Just saying
