Today was my mom's birthday. She really likes Harry Potter.
I decided it would be a good theme for her cake. I didn't have much time to work on the cake... I'm totally swamped between work and the holiday stuff this week, so I literally made this cake in one evening start to finish.
I don't know anything about Harry Potter. I've never seen any of the movies or read any of the books... so I had to do some research, but I was pleased with how it turned out.

My mom doesn't care for fondant, even the MMF, so I did buttercream on the cake and just made my little decorations out of fondant.
For the whole story, more photos and to see the insanity going on inside of this cake... Check out
My Blog. I got made fun of pretty hard for how the inside of the cake ended up.
