Of Thinwafer and Meliano
Meliano was a Maia, and among all the people of the Valar there were none more beautiful than Meliano, nor more wise, nor more skilled in making coffeecake. It is told that the Valar would leave their works, and the birds of Valinor their mirth, that the percolators were silent and the caffeine fountains ceased to flow, when at the mingling of the Creme and Sugar Meliano baked.
She was akin before the world was make to Javana herself; and in that time when the Early Risers awoke beside the waters of Cuivienen she departed from Valinor and came to the Dither Lands, and there she filled the emptiness of Middle-girth before the dawn with sticky-buns and fresh coffee.
The Early Risers were divided into three groups of people. Some relished the holy muffins that Meliano baked, and they became the Branyar, and they were always timely. Other folk desired ever the sweet pastry from her hands, and they were called the Noldanish. Still there were others who enjoyed the breads of Valinor, and they were known as the Bagetelari.
The leader of this last group was Thinwafer, Lord of the Bagetelari, and he went often into the bakery of Meliano. There he fell under an enchantment, for having consumed too much of the Holy Bread, he descended into a sugar-coma, and was lost for a time. He forgot utterly all his people and all the purposes of his mind.
Thus Thinwafer's folk who sought him found him not, and thus Olgrainwe took kingship of the Bagetelari and they departed. Thinwafer came never again across the sea to Valinor so long as he lived, and Meliano returned not thither while their business together lasted. In after days he became King of the Kitchen, and Meliano his Queen, and their halls were Multigrainoth, the Thousand Seed-cake Caves, in Deliath. And of the baking of Thinwafer and Meliano there came into the world the most delicious pastries of all the Early Risers of Brewluvatar that was or shall ever be: The Cupcakes.
