Acrylic Cake Topper For Harry Potter Lovers Happy Birthday Glasses Golden Snitch Decoration, Multicoloured

Product Information

Using the Medium circle i added the second line and center top swirls. Then added another swirl to the side as well. Then using the next size down circle I added the large wing line swirl around the entire snitch. When contemplating where to start, I decided to go with the golden snitch as my first Harry Potter die cut creation. I thought it would be fun to make multiple versions or the design with a bunch of varying, intricate details. I definitely had a great time with it! Starting with the more “classic” one, then venturing to a more “feathery” design, and then a swirly one (because I never miss an opportunity to add a touch of swirlyness: the love bugs I made for Valentine’s Day can attest to that)! I can think of so many ways to implement this die cut golden snitch design! You could iron it onto a pillow or t-shirt, add it to a homemade card, or hang them up around the room at your next Harry Potter watch-party. So many options! Heat up the butterscotch sauce in your microwave for 10 - 15 seconds to make it drizzle a little smoother and serve it at the table in a tiny cream pitcher for pouring over the cake slices after serving. Now if you’ve seen the Big Bang Theory you know that a perfectly round cake tend to roll… and since we don’t want our cake rolling off the cake plate I cut a 3 inch circle out of one of the half circles.

For the wings the first thing I did was bend the wire where I wanted it to go into the cake so I knew the length I had to work with for the wing itself. I used 18 gauge covered wire for strength.

📖 Recipe

If that sounds too fancy and complicated, I would actually recommend skipping adding the butterscotch sauce to the cake itself. Then I painted one side with my gold dust paste, let it dry, flip it over and painted the other side. Once both sides were dry I cut strips – trying not to cut all the way to the wire so you can still control the shape. PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE: The Harry Potter magic-inspired theme cake toppers are a simple way to give a professional touch to your cakes. Apply the edible glue on these toppers and make your cake look magical. Because it’s easier to frost the bottom half of the cake while it’s still upside down that’s what I do. Using Ganache of course, it’s what I always use for shaped cakes, esp cakes, like this, that could easily fall apart, off balanced. GIVES MAGICAL TOUCH: The Harry Potter cake decorations supplies can be used for birthday cakes and cupcakes. Whether it’s a special birthday party, a celebration, a name day, a school party etc. These party supplies for kids are surely the way to go!

BUT you need to make sure you have a strong dense cake that can hold up under the weight of the fondant. And finally add the round balls that the wing’s attach to, but not too large, not a full circle, but not a half circle either. Along the sides, between the original fat swirl add the last smaller swirl, take a dull tool and draw lines (indentations) on the diagonal, on both sides. Finally it’s time to paint the cake gold! The first time I used a gold airbrush, but I didn’t love the gold, too yellowish and not shiny enough.

I chose a Harry Potter butterbeercake with marshmallow frosting and topped it with sparkly golden snitches flying all around. For our sweet springtime birthday girl, I love to make light and colorful birthday cakes. So I decided to do a Harry Potter-inspired birthday cake rather than a cake with Harry Potter himself on it. Cover the cake with the fondant and working around (not one side at a time, work around evenly) finally cutting off the excess and smoothing it with your hands, softly, so as not to leave a handprint anywhere.

I got the cake all ready for pictures and the feathers just started falling off (more down below) GAH, but when I switched to using wafer paper instead (still edible) I got the light and flowy effect I was looking for!If you haven't read the book yet, I highly recommend reading this illustrated Harry Potter with your kids ASAP! The ball pans don’t bake perfectly even so once you level it it doesn’t make a perfect circle so that’s when a filler layer comes in. You can bake another cake layer in a normal round pan or do something fun. I was so inspired by the butterbeer cake over on Liv for Cake but her method was a little too complicated for me. I will say right now that the wings were the hardest part, I even had an EPIC fail. The first time I made it I used gumpaste and it was just too heavy when it was so detailed.

For all you non-magical Muggles, 11 is the same age Harryis at the start of the series.

EXTRA GIFT: The unique and beautiful addition of an extra gift in this Harry Potter birthday decoration will make your kid's birthday remarkable. Make their birthday special with this premium quality product.When the Peanut turned 11, our little wizard-in-training wanted nothing more than a Harry Potter-themed birthday party. I used a layer of crustless cheesecake. The first time I made this cake I used 6 inch pans, the second time I used 8 inch pans. If you try to put sauce in-between the layers, you will find that they tend to slip around and could potentially fall over when carrying the cake from kitchen to table. To avoid this problem, you'll need to add wooden dowels to the cake to stabilize it.
