NorsePlay takes the cake.

During a PowerPoint YT Viking history lecture, a longship cake photo shows up, which got me thinking if it was a one-off, or if there were other Heathen/Viking-kitsch cakes being baked out there. And yes, there certainly are:

[Mmmmmjölnir!]


[they say the Atlantic's made of frosting.]


[runic Odin cake!]

Thanks to the late great medieval historian Alicia McKenzie for inadvertently bringing this bit of modern reception to my attention in her amazing YT online lectures (big recommends from NorsePlay!).

Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay. If you have employment/opportunities in investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer, do contact him.
