Delicious Pies to Chocolate Desserts to Represent Enid Blyton’s Beloved Magic Faraway Characters as Desserts

Blissful oblivion is what fairy tales are for kids, helping them daydream and escape into their own world of made-up fanciful air castles, as dreamy as chocolate desserts. Enid Blyton’s books raised at least a generation or two of kids before technology with their brain rot, visual content, and annoying earworms took over. Imagine slipping down the magic Slippery-Slip slide in the Magic Faraway Tree, and watching your little magical friends being hauled up by a basket to their homes in the tree. With that being said we do hope the film in the works lives up to the magic of the books. We decided to revisit some of these characters and reimagine them as desserts with their quirky traits.

1. Macarons – Jo, Bessie and Fanny

The trio of siblings move to the countryside with their family and this was the beginning of a trilogy of books where the enchanted woods would beckon them to magical adventures. Character development begins here as the three siblings venture into the woods and have adventures that are lessons in their own way. Love them or hate them, each was an enjoyable treat in its own way just like a pack of colourful macarons that's essentially the same but comes in different flavours.

2. Truffles – Moon-face

The fun begins from Moon-face’s place as he owns the slippery-slip slide that made going down the huge Magic Faraway tree a breeze, not to mention his own home, where everything was somehow round and it completely made sense. He’s like a box of fun truffles and like a kid’s face lights up when they spot these chocolate globules, so does the face of the siblings when they are with Moon-face, because he’s “moon” faced, geddit?

3. Pavlova – Silky

Silky is everything you would expect her to be, she's the epitome of peak joy and an unofficial guardian to the three siblings in the Enchanted woods and around. She is pretty like a doll with golden silky hair and has a warm and inviting personality. She is either a pixie or an elf with the ability to fly and her house and through her we also get introduced to the fascinating-sounding food in the Magic Faraway Tree series. She is almost always present in the magical adjectives with the kids in whichever magical land was up the Magic Tree. So, a delicate and graceful Pavlova represents this magical creature.

4. Apple Pie – Saucepan Man

Almost like Eeyore, from Winnie the Pooh, Saucepan Man has that endearing charm, and he wears metal pots and pans and has gone deaf. The poor thing is often a victim to the Angry Pixie’s fits, who hurls a kettle of water on his face, and even Dame Washalot’s dirty laundry water that ends up drenching him quite a few times. But he is an endearing creature, deaf and clumsy as he is and sometimes goes on adventures and causes unfortunate plot thickening mishaps that ends up being a mess the kids and the other folks of the Faraway Tree end up cleaning. He’s a simple apple pie that can be a messy eat, but at its heart is unproblematic and simple.

5. Oreo Cheesecake – Mister Watzisname

An enormous name befitting an ancient man – Kollamoolitumarellipawkyrollo, it's no wonder Mister Watzisname can't remember his own name once he discovers it at the Land of Secrets. That's exactly what happens when you eat a generous portion of Oreo Cheesecake and get the snoozes. Just like the old Mister Watzisname, who snores and snoozes away the entire time the three siblings are seen around him.

6. Lemon Meringue Pie – Dame Washalot

She is perhaps a magical being with an undiagnosed washing mania, who without fail, daily upturns the dirty water left after washing laundry. Such is her mania, that she said to even wash clean objects multiple times if she runs out of dirty laundry to wash. This is revealed when the children’s mother falls ill and she takes in all of the clothes that the kid’s mother is paid to wash. A relief for the kids, perhaps not for the folks like Mr Saucepan Man who is unable to hear the sound of the cascading water. So, a cheery and sunny flavoured lemon meringue pie whose flavour and appearance make it hard to miss.

7. Grasshopper Pie – Mr Oom-Boom-Boom

If the name makes you imagine an ominous thundercloud, that is exactly what this character is, he’s a spell maker enamoured by Silky, seen in the Land of Toys. The magical folks and the kids visited him to get their original bodies back but as luck would have it he was after Silky. They had to flee and end up in a friendly Golliwog’s car that takes them to the ultimate toy maker, Santa Claus. A grasshopper pie to represent this ominous character, who had an obsession with shiny and pretty things.
