Harry Potter Party: The Food
9:59 PMI still have a few components of the Harry Potter party I wanted to share, so I better get busy on writing about it before its Lance's birthday again!
First off - the cake! At first I was very concerned over what to do about the cake, as I like to bake tasty cakes, not pretty cakes. I'm not very artsy. Then, while researching party ideas, I stumbled across Hagrid's birthday cake for Harry, and I thought perfect!! It really didn't matter what it ended up looking like - I mean, a half-giant did sit on the thing, ya know... its supposed to be ugly! This is the perfect Harry Potter cake to make if you lack artistic skills as I do :) I took the cake a step further and made it magic! You'll see :)
I used cake mix and frosting out of the can. So sue me. In order to do what I wanted, I made it a four layer cake. In hindsight, three was plenty and would have made life SO much easier. Oh well. I left two layers untouched for the top and bottom, and cut the middles out of the other two - one larger than the other. I'd recommend just using three layers and make one with a hole. Its a pain in the arse otherwise.
