The Story:
The seventh Harry Potter movie officially opens tonight. So of course there are Potter Parties happening everywhere.
I was invited to one and assigned to bring “Cauldron Cakes.” I had no idea what that was. So I did the only thing I could think of, type it into google and check out the images.
Some of the cakes that came up were amazing and included fondant and licorice and other things that I just didn’t want to bother with. But I did find one photo I sort of liked.
My cupcake today is based on Jenny’s Caldron Cake.

5. Use a knife to cut out a shallow “bowl” on the top of each cupcake. Fill the bowl with pudding.

too cool! it looks like there are flecks of yellow in the green pudding, how did you do that?
I just put sugar sprinkles on when the pudding was still warm, so it dissolved them a little. They were a big hit at the party!
well i know which recipe i'm trying next!
