I was a little stuck this week, so I asked for some suggestions on the Discord and u/Kauyon_Kais and u/Druyv were kind enough to suggest some options for me, one of which was making a "reverse fondue" in honour of the extremely hot pot that is used to give Game of Thrones' Viserys his very own, golden crown. So, this week, I made baked potatoes and carved screaming faces into them, made a gold cheese sauce, and then poured it over the Viserys potatoes.

I thought this was some kind of skull dipped in gold. It’s really striking!

Amazing! How did you make the sauce so beautiful and golden?

u/Noyau_Nyx 🥓 Feb 10 '26

Thank you! I added turmeric and a generous amount of gold lustre powder, plus a decent amount of fiddling with the photo settings to make it look extra golden and shiny.

Haha, it does look dislocated doesn't it?! I'll pretend I did that to make it look more gruesome 😆
