Wow! Each cake is more amazing than the next.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

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.Maria wrote: Why are such awesome cakes on a site called "cakewrecks"?

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

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

Books are air.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

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