Many years ago in the mists of 2012, I proofread a dissertation for a friend up in Leeds.  My normal fee for such work was a cheeseburger and curly fries at the Selly Sausage, but her specialty being the baking and decorating of Amazing Cakes, she did this one for me. I mentioned this in my livejournal at the time but didn’t post any pictures, a near-unforgivable omission I can only hope to remedy now. So, presenting the Stalker Shrike, from Mortal Engines, in cake form. (He was delicious.)

Also, that friend and I are married now.
