Morningstar did all the work.  As usual, I had the idea then passed it off
to someone else to do (this plan of action usually works pretty well,
although several people have finally caught on to what I have been doing and
are beginning to revolt!).  Seriously, she worked very hard on this project
with only minimal assistance from me (I mixed the marzipan and sugarplate
and carted the stuff to the event and a few other small things).  There is a
picture that Rowan has that shows the King actually *WEARING* the crown and
the Queen is holding the sword above his head, and another of the partially
eaten crown and sword resting on the pillow in front of the King.

Olwen, officially on sabatical from the cooks guild!
