Positive Press Daily

Hello and welcome to Positive Press Daily!

PPD is what it sounds like: a blog with the sole purpose of bringing a bit of happy news to the good folk of Tumblr. Each day the creator of PPD scours the Interwebs for a bit of joy amongst the chaos and then shares what she finds here.

Sometimes it's genuine news, sometimes it's a piece so fluffy you'll cry, but it's never negative or heavy.

It’s rather easy to get bogged down in all the natural disasters, wars, political debates, activism, and other not-so-good (but oh-so-important) news that floods one's Dashboard, so we here at PPD do very much hope you'll enjoy the change of pace.

Behold the Skyrim Alduin cake: FUS RO NOM!

Modeled after a figurine from the collector’s edition of Skyrim, this Alduin birthday cake is deliciously awesome. Designed by Vera of Baking Obsession, the cake was created for her son’s birthday party. Although he may look as vicious as ever, this particular Alduin is created from a rich modeling chocolate core, with scales, horns, wings and spikes created with part fondant and part gum paste, making this the sweetest world-eating dragon around.

The base of the cake is created from four sheets of chocolate cake, soaked in strawberry syrup and sandwiched with bittersweet strawberry ganache. The only part of the cake that isn’t edible is the dragon’s Swarovski crystal eyes. For more photos of this wonderful creation, head on over to Vera’s blog post here.
