The Wonderful World of Harry Potter

I had so much fun making this cake. Last year Zack got a Lego Stormtrooper (one of my faves) and this year the birthday boy is really into Harry Potter so I knew I could make him a cake to remember. In the words of the magnificent Duff Goldman...Make it bigger, make it badder, make it awesome! I started with a spellbook made of cake, it was huuuuge! I added detail to the book and aged the pages. For the decoration I knew from the start I wanted to create some classic Harry Potter items so it had to be his glasses, the golden snitch, a Gryffindor scarf, potions, Bertie Botts Beans and a wand. It all came together so great and I was so proud of myself for pulling it off. Most definitely on my list of favourite cakes ever!
