Harry Potter Cupcakes

My cute neighbor Eleanor and her mom Tami came over on Monday and we all made Harry Potter cupcakes and then Eleanor made a Hagrid cake on her own for her Harry Potter themed birthday party.  I think they came out really cute.  Eleanor wanted broomsticks, lightning bolts and scarves from all four houses on top of the cupcakes.  Cute right?

And here is the Hagrid cake that Eleanor made on her own

Mini Hagrid Birthday Cake

Cute right?  Just like the cake that Hagrid brings Harry in “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”.

The cupcakes are vanilla and chocolate and the mini cake is a marble cake.  Both the cupcakes and mini cake are made with this recipe here.

The recipe for the frosting on both the cupcakes and the cake can be found here.

The fondant for all the cupcake toppers is Wilton fondant which you can find at Michael’s.

Happy Birthday Eleanor!  Thanks for letting me be a part of the fun!
