Sutton Hoo Cake

One of the very first bad jokes I ever learned in the SCA was,

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Sutton.

Sutton Who?

Yes, awful, isn't it? But that's what you get for hanging around with Saxons. Now I can't look at that beautiful ornate helmet without hearing that joke.

At one time I thought it would be nice to learn metal tooling and make decorative reproductions of such masterpieces, but a half a day with a chisel and punch taught me why blacksmiths need to be burly.

As amazing as the original is, this Sutton Hoo Cake, which I read about on Unlocked Wordhoard but was originally found on Studenta Mira, is much more my speed. I wonder if I still have my cake decorating kit...
