The Bundt Cake of Barad-Dur (A Lord of the Rings-themed Cake)

The Bundt Cake of Barad-Dur (A Lord of the Rings-themed Cake)
RavingChild's birthday is a few days before Halloween, and usually his birthday party has the same theme as his Halloween costume. Since Halloween was Gimli the Dwarf this year, we needed to come up with an LOTR-themed cake.

And the other ultimate Evil - Bundt cake.
