So... if Tolkien characters were cakes...

I like her character, but Eowyn would have to be Cheesecake. She gets herself all worked up over a guy who's already spoken for, and doesn't snap out of it until she finds herself another guy. *sigh*

Sauron would, of course, be a doughnut.

The Ring itself would have to be the doughnut.

Well, let us not forget ol' Sam Gamgee, who would have to be a crab cake - all crusty on the outside surrounding pure goodness inside... or a twinkie for almost the same reasons...

And I guess Saruman (spelling?) would be a plate with five ladyfingers...get it?

[Winters_Sorrow]

what about Orlando Batten-berg?

but as it seems to be the actual characters & not the actors then;

Legolas = fairy cake (enuff said)
Gimli = rock cake (not sure if anyone outside Scotland has had this - basically a small coconut cake with an incredibly hard shell)
Denethor = maderia cake ('cos he's bananas of course! Geddit?)

Ooooh. A savoury cake. Risque.

[GrownUp]

HONESTLY. I stop paying attention for 5 minutes and everyone forgets about cakes.

[Carnifexticles]

to even consider discussing such serious matters without including a savoury alternative is crazy! personally i think of them more as party food in general, an assortment of snacky treats for us to devour. eg gimli is most definitely the scotch egg of middle earth, for obvious reasons, whilst samwoise has got to be a wagon wheel because of his rotund shape with its sturdy veneer juxtaposed with the gooey soft middle

[GrownUp]

Lovely ideas but I can't help but feel that the definition of "cake" is being stretched a little.

[FelineEyes]

Gollum would have to be something like a dump cake...all mixed up in the same pan and sometimes you get pineapple tidbits and cherries and other times you just get plain burned floury cake mix.

[moviefan]

Gollum - Fish Cake or Crab Cakes (well, it is fish preciousss. He didn't know what taters were)
Saruman - Carrot, Raisin Cake (Raisins are rich in iron and so was Saruman)
Beorn - Bee Keeper's Honey Spice Cake (He kept bees, so it suits).
