Random Game of Thrones stuff is coming. First up, award-winning cake designer Michelle Wibowo entered an intriguing confection into the Taste of London 2015: a fully edible model of King’s Landing, complete with the Great Sept of Baelor, the Red Keep, and the Dragon Pit, all of it made out of gingerbread.

Clearly, this entry is inspired by the flyover of King’s Landing from the show’s opening credits.
These sorts of projects always seem like beautiful contradictions. This model of King’s Landing is fully edible, but so much care went into it that I’d feel wrong about eating it. In any case, kudos Wibowo (who also remade Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam in marshmallows and cake sprinkles, per her website) on her delicious creation.
Next, sample this lovely Game of Thrones-themed bookbox, a box for your books.
Ever wonder what it would be like if Maester Aemon wrote a Night’s Watch Handbook, bound it in wood, hollowed it out, added a drawer, and used it to store stuff? Probably not, but that basically what’s happening here. Use it to hold books, booze, or whatever else strikes your fancy—available on Etsy.
Finally, check out this fan-made poster for the Dornish plotline in Season 5. That particular storyline may not have gone over well, but we’ll always have the hype.
