Next to the lake, on the south side of the thrones, was the food. Tables topped with elaborate displays of edibles (and others for dining) invited the viewer to glut their gut on finger foods and baked goods. Along side the spread stood two stew pots suspended above fire, their delicious scent filling the immediate area. Special thanks to Ariana's Divine Delights Bakery for providing a portion of this scrumptious feast!
