This Should Even Things Out
July 23, 2009 After all the gorgeous Harry Potter cakes we've been featuring the past two Sundays, I figured we should tip the Wreckage scales back into balance.
Ok, one more:
Oh, good, they included the famous "three orange volcanoes" from the books/movies! Can't have a Harry Potter cake without those, now, can you?
What's that? There ARE no volcanoes - orange or otherwise - in the books or movies? Oh.
Well, then at least they have the big, green...smokestack? No...field! I think it's a field. That grows straight up. Er, because it's a "magical" land. Yeah.
[shifty eyes]
No?
Well, then, how about all those randomly scattered, teensy little photo circles of Ron, Harry, & Hermione? Now those really are "magical." [nodding earnestly]
What, those don't work for you either?
[frustrated sigh] Look, bub, it says "Harry Potter" on it in big frickin' letters. What more do you want? Now shell out the $21.50 and learn to deal, Ok?
Amy B. & Monique R., have you ever wondered who would win in a Harry vs Voldemort RAP BATTLE? Then watch this and find out. (And here's hoping I'm not the only one who thinks the Dark Lord's rhymes are way sweeter.)

The Harry Potter wreck is actually quite a pretty cake without that face. The twinkling stars, the yummy colours, the gorgeous piping... if only they'd stopped there.
You know what's strange? I found another cake that looks like CW2 - same orange volcanoes, same weird green stuff: http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/wbsbrandmanagement/entry/harry_potter/
Maybe what we're seeing here is the result of some Chinese Whispers-like effect? I'll do some more searching and get to the bottom of this! :P
Things get weirder. It's a Make-Your-Own-Harry-Potter-Cake kit, or something.

Woo-hoo! A cake I submitted made it to the blog.
Yes, you can thank me for the nightmares that first cake brought you. No I didn't make or buy it, thank goodness. I just found it on the wide wide world of web.
Apparently they actually sell a kit to make the second cake:

I seriously thought that first one was Ugly Betty!
Actually, I'm with Harry on the rap.
Lord V WAS way sweeter...
and those cakes were way Not sweeter.
Is there a way to search cakes on CW?
Does Harry has three lips?? Im thinking he has...for some reason! ;) xx
Yeah, Voldemort had better rhymes, you're not the only one who thinks that.
