I'm not much of a cake baker/decorator. I've tried a few and some have turned out, some not. There was the year that the little boy wanted a lego cake. According to my husband, the "legos" looked like something else entirely. Figures a man would think that. The bowling pin cake and the tie-dyed t-shirt turned out but some others ended up looking like blobs of cake and frosting. So, when the little girl decided she wanted a Harry Potter theme for her birthday, I wasn't quite sure what kind of cake would work with that. She found a sorting hat cake on the internet.
Great, just great.
Great, just great.
I decided I'd better give this one a trial run. I made my own marshmallow fondant and used a variety of bowls as templates to cut the cake into different sizes. I was pretty pleased with how this turned out. Hope the "real" one turns out just as well. Otherwise, I might be making a last minute trip to Dairy Queen.
