Harry Potter

I love Harry Potter, and these are adorable, but all the knits in my closet are weeping with fear for their future.

Edible star glitter! I will always be blown away by the variety of food decorations that look inedible but are in fact safe! Also, the little fondant mug on top of this cupcake is filled with butterbeer so you get a little sip before you eat the creamy goodness below. Genius.

I'm glad to see that the end of the movie series hasn't dampened the enthusiasm of the HP fans out there. The books will be read and re-read and cherished forever, mark my words.

The Firebolt is a status symbol. Show it off any way you can.

My kingdom for a Harry Potter cake! This is just exquisite! It's a shame the birthday boy's name is Ronald since clearly this cake is not about our dear Mr. Weasley. Those lightning bolts and that golden snitch are all Harry all the way. Can I just nibble on a coin for a minute? I promise I'll be quiet and won't bother anyone!

Even if you didn't catch the snitch yourself, it's still a honor to have one on your birthday. I wonder if this one only opens up when your mouth touches it like in the books.

Wear your house colors with a little more panache than the usual stripes.

It's okay to be a show off about your Quidditch skills every once in a while.
