Harry Potter Cakes And Cupcakes
You can’t have a party without cake, right?
This is actually the Harry Potter Cake that I made for my daughter’s birthday. She’d actually found a similar one that she loved on Pinterest and asked me to recreate it. Though it wasn’t quite as extravagant as the original (clearly made by a professional), my daughter loved it and that’s all that matters!
I’m a huge fan of everything Ashlee Marie does and cakes like this Harry Potter Golden Snitch Cake are the reason why.
I love all the color in this Hogwarts House Cake from Bakingdom.
