Sunday Sweets: More Potter!
July 19, 2009 Once a week here on Cake Wrecks we post the best of the best of the best cakes out there. And most of the time, the comments go a little something like this:
"Oooooohh pretty!"
Last week, however, sparked a debate rarely seen in these parts, and instead of comments we got seven page dissertations on popular 20th century children's literature and its effect on modern culture and resulting religious, racial and socioeconomic implications. And guess who had to moderate all those comments? That's right: me.
Every.
Last.
Word.
So this week, we're going to look at some more Potter sweets, but we're gonna do it a bit differently. This week we're gonna look at the pretty pictures, and when we're done, we're gonna do our comments Twitter style, meaning 140 letters or less. Capisce? Everybody with me? Okay then. Here goes.

Those are nicely done cakes. I like the Monster Book Best. Does anyone do Disc World Cakes? Terry Pratchett is "Da Bomb".
"oooooooooh pretty!" :D
I love the Potter Cakes...Too bad nobody made a Professor Snape cake *g*
*counting letters..1..2..3* :)
These are so awesome... the one with the glasses on it is so beautiful. I love the scarf knit pattern detail!
Ooooo Pretty! Seriously, these are awesome. I wish I had that type of talent!
Ooooh, Pretty. :)
Nicely done all the way around!
WV - urocke. And yes, you do.
Some people ruin it for all of us!! You should just delete the ones who make such comments and save yourself some time!
The cake with the pot is just amazing, well, all of them are, but that one struck me the most. Love'em, keep'em coming!!
These cakes are beautiful!!! You're giving me ideas for a future birthday cake... :)
Love the snitch in the second cake, so tiny and perfect!
despite the penguin proportions, Hedwig is lovely. brillo cakemaking
Those are gorgeous! Far better than any HP cake I've made.
I have been looking forward to this post all week! How about you just keep doing a Harry Potter theme (good and bad cakes) for another... I don't know... month or so? Please!!!
I agree! Where's the Snape Cake? I'd like to take a bite out of him- rawr!
These are fantastic!
The Mandrake and the Monster Book of Monsters made me squee, and the Hogwarts cake is wonderful. Simple, yet breathtaking.
WV: ordbas - I worked for my bruvva, and 'e was a really 'ordbas to work for.
Is the monster book of monsters a cake for Tom Riddle?
oooh, "bloody brillant!" What talent. One day I hope to exhibit even a miniscule amount of their ability! {bows in awe the cakey greatness}
OOp, I found some- here are links to Discworld cakes. Now THOSE are fun books to read!

Hahhahaha, "Ooooooh Pretty" XD. I'm not a potter fan but those cakes are pretty damn amazing.
These are all awesome! What I want to know is how do these little (under 10 yrs old) kids keep getting such amazing birthday cakes?? Can they even appreciate it?
I am always open-mouthed at the cakes on your site; at least on Sunday it's for beauty's sake! ^_^ Love the feathers on that snitch. Exquisite.
Bernard's cake is my fave.

I WANT the mandrake cake! Please? (@Anonymous RE Pratchett: I just discovered him, and I so agree.)
oh, i want them all. does it get any better than two of the best things ever, combined into one? I mean really, cake and potter!
Amazing! Love the Mandrake!!
I love the mandrake cake! Very cool.
The snitch one looks amazing - I wonder how they did the wings?
And my word verification is "monsti"
Teehee!
Wow! These were all "sweet" - especially Bernard's cake. It was very Potter-sophisticated.
The problem with these cakes is they are so gorgeous I wouldn't want to eat them. The mandrake cake is so clever!
I wish they were all mine! They're all so beautiful! The mandrake one is especially creative. And the Monster Book...
the Mandrake is amazing! if the pot is a cake, it looks like real terra cotta!
Ha ha ha. I almost never read the comments here but your post made me go back to read the last HP comments. H-I-Larious! Lets just say that I will never again take such a serious stance on HP as I have in the past. Who wants to act like that?
LOVE the mandrake cake!
Oh Pretty! Sorry for your poor eyes last time.
Ohhhh!
Pretty!!!!!!!!!!!
Yummy, and pretty. Especially like the Snitch cake.
wv: losaa: I still have losaa words left.
Mandrake=genius! I never would have thought to even do one!
Oooohhh Pretty!!
The Mandrake root is simply perfect and adorable...and the crystals pouring!! Stunning!
Cakeous Nonwreckia!
Wow. Can't believe all the ruckus after last week's post. Hello? This blog is about great cakes. And these are spectacular. Thanks for the daily posts of humor and the beautiful Sunday Sweets. Love your blog! (Hoping you overlook my extra characters since I've been so flattering. ;) )

Wow. Those are just incredible. The Hogwarts cake that lights up is fantastic!

Wow, I have some of those in dollhouse miniature on my blog! But made out of fimo rather than cake. And tiny rather than large and awesome like these.
I'm seriously considering getting into cake decorating at some point - seems similar to fimo sometimes.
That little owl on the first book reminded me of "School House Rocks" and I felt a little bad that I *kinda* would have loved to see that little owl lecturing in Hogwarts...
They are all awesome, though the mandrake cake is my fav.
wv: murdnest - where murds call home.
Oooh pretty! haha Seriously though, these are absolutely brilliant! I definitely want a Harry Potter related cake for my next Birthday! =)
I second what Jennifer said - can we keep the Potter theme going for awhile? ;)
I think the mandrake cake is amazing. And proves that some people do have a little Neville in them, it's not just me!
Ooooohh, pretty! :-)
Loved them! (and the movies and the books!) Thanks for the Discworld links, Anon! I heart Pratchett!
I heart you.
