Check Out This Glow-in-the-Dark NEVERENDING STORY-Themed Pie of the Oracles
The Neverending Story is one of my favorite movies from my childhood, and I remember the intensity I felt when I first saw it while I was watching the scene where Atreyu was making his way through the three Oracles. Well, now Atreyu and the Oracles have been transformed into a glow-in-the-dark pie created by Pies Are Awesome. They even have laser beams coming out of their eyes!
Oracles crumbling, bullies prowling, a depressed horse drowning in quicksand, spooky wolf eyes peering out of a deep dark cave… so many big images to lodge in an impressionable seven-year-old brain for one lovable 80s flick! But the single moment that filled me with awe like no other since was hands down that first little glimmer of blue glow from the eyes of the Sphinx Gate… Chills!
Tip: The “laser beams” are made from crushed mints boiled to “hard crack” temperature with tonic water. It glows under black light! If you want perfectly clear beams you can use isomalt crystals rather than mints, but I suggest you add some peppermint extract to the mix to cut the natural bitterness of the quinine in the tonic.
