I think I was pretty late to the Game of Thrones party. A friend insisted I watch it a year ago, she couldn’t understand how I wasn’t in to it already. It took me less than a month to catch up on the first five seasons and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I’ve been dying to make a GOT cake for ages. I really really wanted to make a throne and drip some blood. For the cake itself I made a classic Victoria Sponge layered on to a black cake board. It’s nowhere near the amount of blood shed on the show but for the one on the cake I thought I’d do my new favourite thing, colouring white chocolate ganache for drips.

Back around April I decided to be really productive with my time and watch the whole of Game of Thrones in a month or so. Everyone had been telling me how amazing it was and I quickly become obsessed. Although getting through all five series was probably not my biggest achievement this year I thought this Christmas I would celebrate my GOT love with some limited edition jumpers. Inspired by this awesome card I picked up in New York I made these ‘Let it Snow’ (get it?!) jumpers to give out to my friends and fellow Jon Snow/Thrones fans. Look at his little face! He looks like he knows nothing…
