1. Harry Potter Mandrake Cake
All we can really say about this Harry Potter birthday cake from chotda is WOW! Is that cake real? Can you eat that thing?
Apparently you can, and from the description we read it sounds pretty good too!
It’s a professionally made cake (no surprise!) and here’s the description, “…it is a terracotta pot with devil’s food cake, covered in devil’s food crumbs, and a gumpaste/pastillage mandrake root embedded on top.”
Although we’re not sure how you could replicate this cake, we’d love to see people try! It’s incredibly unique, fun and realistic. I half expect that mandrake to start screaming at me! What a great cake…
2. A Classic Harry Potter Birthday Cake
When we picture a Harry Potter birthday cake, this is very much what we see. It’s got some incredible design and icing work, including shading on Harry’s face and clothes. It just looks like the “de facto” Harry Potter cake that you’d want to see at a Harry Potter party.
Another professionally made cake, and one that I think would take a fair amount of work to replicate, but you might just want to give it a try!
3. The Hogwarts Birthday Cake
From selkie we get this incredible Hogwarts cake. The detail work and design is just unbelievable. This is the kind of cake that you hate to cut into; it’s just that beautiful!
It’s great to see a Harry Potter cake that reflects a wider range of the characters by showing all four of the houses and not just focusing on Harry Potter. Sure, we love Harry, but there’s so much more to explore in his world, and that’s done beautifully with this cake.
I don’t think this is the type of cake that you could easily replicate, unless you were a professional cake-maker, but it’s still wonderful to look at. And you could be certain your child would go through the roof if they were to receive a Harry Potter cake like this.
4. The Hogwarts Castle Cake
We absolutely adore this cake! It has a great 3-D perspective and the tiny characters in the front are absolutely adorable!
And unlike some of the other cakes on the list, I think us amateur cake-makers might have a chance! I’ve actually worked on cakes that look similar, although they were made out of ice cream using a sand castle mold (go check the sandbox!) I’m not sure how this cake was made, but it looks absolutely wonderful.
5. The Hogwarts School Birthday Cake
Similar to #4 above this is a Hogwarts School castle birthday cake. The picture gives a great perspective. We love the fact that the creator used Lego characters! That’s gotta be a lot easier than making marzipan figurines.
This cake is fantastic with great use of decorations and candies.
The upside down ice cream cones for towers is ingenious! The graham crackers for the floor is also very smart.
This Harry Potter cake is definitely one that a do-it-yourself mom or dad (or both!) could pull off with a little planning and close attention to the photo. Just click it to see a bigger image.
6. Harry Potter Book Cake
We’re not even sure this is really a cake, it looks so realistic that we think it might just be some icing on an actual book. OK, we’re kidding! It’s definitely a cake, but can you even imagine how this was done?
It’s one of the best Harry Potter birthday cakes we’ve seen! The attention to detail around the book binding and the delicate cake decorations on the top really make this cake stand out.
7. The Quidditch Birthday Cake
We’re in love with this cake! It’s so cute and unique.
And you can clearly see how it would be possible to make this cake. The ingredients look fairly basic and the decoration is reasonably simple. But the overall effect is wonderful! Having said that, I’m not entirely sure how the turrets are made, but they look like toilet paper rolls (which would be easy enough!)
8. The Most Incredible Harry Potter Cake Ever
Bar none this is the most incredible Harry Potter cake we’ve ever seen! It ranks right up there as one of the most incredible cakes we’ve ever seen, regardless of theme!
To be fair, this cake was done for a TV show (Ace of Cakes) made by the folks at Charm City Cakes. It sounds like Daniel Radcliffe and other stars from the movie even made an appearance in the show.
Obviously it would be nearly impossible to re-create this cake, but it’s still wonderful to look at!
