To be honest, I´m not completely sure. Actually, we were first going to make a Gollum from Lord Of The Rings, but on the day we decided that was just mad, impossible to construct. Also we didn´t have any food coloring that suited Gollum´s sickly skin tone. But we figured Jabba was crazy enough.
We were really looking forward to meeting up for this, we both like star Wars and Lotr and stuff, we´ve had it planned since the beginning of April.
Both options were my idea though. The actual baking was eventful.
I suppose technically speaking it belongs to science fiction but sci-fi has a lot in common with fantasy, right? Hopefully that´s fine.

Recipe
The original recipe had eggs instead of butter HOWEVER we couldn´t find them- I thought they´d been used the night before in an omelette. Turns out they were right in front of me the whole time.
Ingredients:
- 240 gr flour
- 65 ml milk
- 140 gr sugar
- 200 gr butter
- 1 sachet of baking powder
- 1 lemon grating
- sugar, water and food coloring for the icing.
- wee goggly eyes for decoration
Method of Preparation
- The preparation itself was unbelievably easy, all it said was to mix everything in a bowl and put in the oven for an hour.
- We somehow managed to mess up though.
- Our mixture before going in the oven looked like apple crumble- to be fair if we´d been making a crumble that was exactly what it should´ve looked like- and after 40 minutes (therefore directly disobeying a clear order) it resembled a massive cookie.
- I suppose the fact we only had half the butter didn´t help.
- The flavor though… oh it got my heart racing. It was heavenly.
- Perhaps a bit too sweet, delicious nonetheless.
- We seem to have misplaced the piece of paper where we wrote down the page were we got the recipe from, so we better just put down it´s a family recipe.
- We didn´t have all the ingredients but we managed to do what we had come to do anyway. We weren´t going to let “no” eggs and not enough butter stop us! We ploughed on recklessly.The end result was peculiar.
- Overall, I spent a thoroughly enjoyable morning with my good friend Dani (Bow).
- We were chatting while we baked (and cleaned up!)so it was a laugh. Also we filmed everything, so I´m looking forward to editing everything and making a video similar to cooking shows.

It was good fun .Again, this is what it should´ve looked like.
