Started off by making brownies.

http://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/acci...f16bd211c6.jpg

Then I made chocobo cookies using templates I'd drawn.

http://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/acci...710e96d9b7.jpg

http://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/acci...b1bfae63b3.jpg

Next I assembled the brownies into steps and used rocky-road bites to add texture.

http://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/acci...af224b9b16.jpg

Finally I mixed up some green frosting for grass. However it wasn't thick enough so turned gooey. :(

I start by making the dough for my carrot cake.
http://http://img2.finalfantasyxiv.c...f652af736b.jpg
Then while baking I made fondant, and after baking I cut it out in the shape of a Cactuar.
http://http://img2.finalfantasyxiv.c...8f177553fa.jpg
With fondant.
http://http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com.../blog/2088511/
With some blue and yellow fruit colour mixed to make more green.

And the final few additions of chocolate eyes, mouth and hair.

5 Fire Shards? Check.
4 Water Shards? Check.
Raisins? Check.
Almonds? Check.
Desert Saffron? Check.
Table Salt? Check.
Pie Dough? Check.
Mirror Apple? Check.

Substitutions may have been made while making the filling. ;)

My pictures came out so blurry... But you get the idea!
A dish inspired by Dalamud and Deviled Eggs. :)
Next time, more Ketchup, less Mayo... lol, my attempt seems so weak ^^;

Recently I spent a lot of time fighting Titan, or waiting at the bottom of the cliff. So I designed a dish around his infamous Landslide ability! It comes in single, triple, and quintuple varieties, and any of them will kill you.


First off, gather all the ingredients for the corn pancakes.
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7588/...a5f7ed3a_c.jpg


Then mix the batter.
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7588/...1e08c191_c.jpg


Spice generously, and add the corn and cheese.
https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8710/...6925b4f3_c.jpg


Bake tiny little corn pancakes, using a mold at first.
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7606/...2f3c91ce_c.jpg


Also heat up your meatballs and tomato sause!
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7622/...4169b0d6_c.jpg


I present my dish, Triple Titan!

It took me a few days of baking, melting and sculpting to give justice to the Lord of Crags, here are my efforts!

Cake ingredients:
http://i.imgur.com/ONW60T1.jpg

Decorative ingredients, including: Fondant icing and tools to create Titan, Ganache, Chocolate buttercream, Brittle, Honeycomb.

Titan finished!

Titan and the 8 cakes I made, buttercreamed and awaiting the ganache and other final touches:

Whilst I waited for the ganache to harden, I worked on this decorative ribbon, which says "Bow Down Overdweller" in Eorzean script:

The Dish: Bahamut's Escape
Character Name: V'riel Ash'shaya
Server: Shiva

So first we started with way too many ingredients to be all pictured here.
http://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/acci...6efd0a4346.jpg

And following up we did a Fried Dalamud Rice Ball, which was a mogyfied Arancini recipe.
http://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/acci...fb021ef8d9.jpg
http://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/acci...9a3365eb73.jpg

Soo and then we fried some minced meat and wasted an entire eggplant... oh and a ton of chopsticks!
http://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/acci...0d4d6b1987.jpg

Ohw and yeah now we have a little cute dragon ready for breakout, rounded up by a sauce mix of cream bruchetta and some other stuff.
