There are dragon cakes and then there are fire breathing dragon cakes. This sugary goodness by Zion is worthy of the word “epic”. Clearly, she is a fan of The Hobbit, so she made the Smaug cake for her son’s birthday. Yeah, that’s better than any amount of birthday candles. I hope the flavor is red velvet.

Where are my dragons? Well, Khaleesi, they’ve been eaten. This dragon’s eggs cake is fashioned after the box Daenerys Targaryen kept before her dragons hatched. Every part is edible, and the eggs are appraently made from Rice Krispie treats covered in chocolate. They look scrumptious. How do you say “yummy” in Dothraki?
JacquieLongLegs has parlayed her love of Game of Thrones into DIY dragon Easter eggs that can be made with relatively little effort. If you want to cut to the chase and get right to the tutorial, skip the first 20 seconds of the video after the jump.
With that title, I’m sure everyone went scrambling for their wallets in a frantic attempt to own a tiny piece of shriveled, inedible bacon. But for those who actually care about the details, here they are:

This is the best damn watermelon dragon you’re likely to see all year. Apparently, it was carved from 14 watermelons and two Fiji pineapples by Shawn Freeney of the Invisible Underground.

Vera from Baking Obsession created this unfathomably cool Alduin cake for her son’s birthday:
The cake itself and the dragon was my attempt to reproduce a sculpture from a set of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Collector’s Edition (a computer game by Bethesda). I started making it using photos I found on the internet. Later, when we purchased the set, I realized that my pretty birdy was getting way too big, almost twice the size of the statue. To make the whole thing proportional, I had to scale up the size of the cake itself. It was made of four 13″x18″ sheets of chocolate cake, soaked in strawberry syrup, and sandwiched with bittersweet strawberry ganache (5 lbs of chocolate). Alduin’s core is made of modeling chocolate. His scales, horns, and spikes are made from gum paste. The double-sided wings are half-and-half (fondant/gum paste). His eyes are Swarovsky crystals. At first, I planned to make them edible from isomalt, but these ruby-like gems were so perfect in their brightness and size, so I changed my mind. I knew Tim would never ever let anybody have a bite from Alduin, so a couple unedibles seemed OK.
