“If you would take a man’s life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you can not do that, then perhaps the men does not deserve to die. [...] A ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is.”

If you didn’t read the books you were no doubt surprised to see the protagonist of  Games of Thrones, played by Sean Bean, die at the send of season one.  Eddard Stark, or Ned as he was called by members of the northern mountain clans, was head of House Stark and Lord of Winterfell until Joffrey had him executed and his head placed upon a spike. Maybe a bit much for a wedding being a severed head cake pop and all, but a fun idea of what you can do with cake pops.

“After an immediate reaction of shock, sadness, and a little disgust (which I imagine was the point), I thought…it kind of looks like a cake pop. I realize this means that I’ve lost it. I’m ok with that. And so, my Ned Stark cake pops were born. They’re not that different from regular cake pops, except I used a bamboo skewer that extends all of the way through the cake ball…and they’re kind of grotesque, funny, and awesome at the same time.”
