The last season of Game of Thrones is set to premiere THIS Sunday, April 14 — and I have a lot of feelings. There have been seven seasons, 67 episodes, 174,374 on-screen deaths that constitute, if you ask me, an infinite number of gasp-worthy moments. From the Red Wedding to the Hodor episode (which I’m still crying about, thank you very much), Game of Thrones has captured the hearts of people who you never would have thought would have enjoyed a medieval deathfest such as this one. (Ahem.)

Many brands have tried to capture this cultural moment. There’s the epic new Oreo cookies, to start. And of course many bottles of wine. But the best of the culinary creations might just be this pie.

This week baker and Reddit user inspiredtotaste shared her tribute to Game of Thrones in a spectacularly unique and tasty-looking way. The creative culinary mind made an edible portrait of the mother of dragons, Daenerys Targaryen (and one of her Dragon babies).

“I made a Game of Thrones tribute pie: lemon curd, peach and raspberry filling in a lemon almond cookie crust,” inspiredtotaste says on her post, which already has 40,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments — mostly compliments. She also posted the creation to Instagram and it has garnered close to 10,000 likes.

According to inspiredtotaste, she was going to let her husband “dig into it last night, but apparently I started whimpering when he went to cut it, so it’s still intact in the fridge.” After that false start, she asked her mother to make the first cut, and ironically, what the pie looks like afterwards makes it clear which dragon it’s a portrait of (spoiler alert): Viserion.

(I’m extremely proud of that Game of Thrones joke, and I will eat a slice of pie this weekend to celebrate it.)

But in all seriousness, not only was inspiredtotaste’s pie is a true work of portraiture, utilizing the best in culinary decoration skills, the inside of that pie looks delicious as well. I’m sure Jon Snow would bend the knee.
