As the tradition has it, we have specialities from many Elven areas; Lindon, Lothlórien and of course only the best local treats from Imladris. The food is cooked by Telpenaro of Nargothrond, a passionate farmer and a chef.
Guests will find a selection of food on the tables, free for them to take.

⚜ Giant Cake: Míreäcoron
This spherical cake seems to almost defy gravity but it's securely in place, carried by mountain like swirls from below. The sphere is actually open with shiny uncut gems inside that are not crunchy but can be bitten into – the cake is most certainly a geode. It's made of fluffy sponge cake, blueberry and lavender marmalade, fondant, diplomat cream and meringue buttercream.
