Okay, so they probably don't REALLY explode but kids will love these.

From Hogwarts to Hedwig, these cakes have got virtually everything in the Harry Potter universe covered. It's pretty difficult to believe that these were baked without the use of magic. I just want a pink cake that says "Happee Birthdae Anastasia" in green. The cauldron cakes at the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter just got a whole lot more magical.

The theme park has switched out the colorless original - made of chocolate cake filled with chocolate mousse, dipped in ganache and topped with a ganache handle - for something altogether. From Butterbeer hot chocolate to cake pops that look like the Golden Snitch, there's a little something for everyone. Throw a big Harry Potter-themed brunch party and include these Butterbeer pancakes. This cake features all the classic Harry Potter staples: a wand, Harry's glasses, the golden snitch, a letter from Hogwarts, and of course, Hedwig. Kudos to those with a Harry Potter-themed wedding!
