Ocarina of Time: Sage Medallion Cupcakes
Hey guys! I have to say I love this community. Been lurking for a while, so now I'm finally going to come out of the shadows and say hi!
I love love geeky crafts. These days, I mostly partake in the food side of it myself. Here's one of the first things I made:
I was 9 years old when The Ocarina of Time came out. As a horse lover, I still remember seeing the commercial on TV and losing my mind when I saw the white horse. As many of you will know, you never get to ride that horse, but Epona more than suffices (to add to her awesomeness, Epona in Celtic mythology is synonymous with the Welsh goddess, Rhiannon, my namesake -- a relation to the game I never stop finding cool).
That game created an obsession in me that has never subsided. I don't know how many times I've clocked the game, but it never fails to blow my mind. The re-launch of it with upgraded graphics via the 3DS was a fangirl's dream.
I love the design elements in Zelda titles, and The Ocarina of Time is one of the greatest games aesthetically. The symbolism is fantastic. So while I was waiting for the cupcakes to cool for a separate fan art project, I decided to kill time making something simpler. These weren't as speedy as I imagined them to be and took me quite a while to finish. But I had so much fun, humming the associated songs while making them.
I had intended to engrave the Hylian writing around the outside of these, but by the time I got this far I felt they looked finished. They looked neat and I was worried adding the writing would look too busy, so I left it at this. The official art also has them decagonal in shape, but as they are often seen rounded I decided to go in that direction to match the shape of the cupcakes.
... he looks pretty serious, you guys.
If you want to see close ups of the individual cupcakes, there's tonnes of pics over at the original post on my blog.
