WanderFood Wednesday: I AM SPARTACUPCAKE

Spartacus_season_3_poster-001

I’d like to say I’ve been too busy catching up on Season 1 of Spartacus: Blood and Sand to write this week’s WanderFood Wednesday, but while I have indeed been up to my mental elbows in gladiator gore, the truth is that this guest post was too good to spend on a lesser day of the week. And really, don’t we all need a cupcake that embodies ferocious warrior spirit on a Wednesday? I think we do.

If that sounds like a geek thing to say… well… guilty as charged. I not only get swept around the world in my books, but around the imaginations of brilliant fantasy writers as well. So When I learned the fictional Starz Series “Spartacus” was entering is final season (I’m a big fan of its writer, Steven DeKnight) I took the opportunity to download Barry Strauss’ The Spartacus War on Audible to represent Italy on the WanderLit World Tour.

Then I turned it up loud while I made cupcakes fit for Rome’s Third Servile War!

I started with the dogs of war. Though my cupcakes always seem to look like a first-grader made them, I am proud of my wolves. Here is how it’s done.

This one looks like it could be the wolf that nursed Romulus and Remus.

Then I tried a few Gladiators:

How about you? Do you have any themed treats or recepies from the fantasy lands you’ve traveled to? I’ve seen everything from The Star Trek Cookbook
to The Unofficial Game of Thrones Cookbook: From Direwolf Ale to Auroch Stew – More Than 150 Recipes from Westeros and Beyond.
