Harry Potter Birthday Cake

Ok, this didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped.  I purchased some "cake markers" that were supposed to work on the frosting... I was planning to write the name of a chapter at the top, along with some text.  These markers that I paid around $10 for did NOT work.  I was very upset & planned to write the manufacturer (Wilton), but never did.... Oh well....  I made the most of it & it still looked cute. 

The sorting hat was my favorite thing.... I used some fondant that I had leftover from a birthday a few days earlier.  I just took some plain cocoa and added it to it until it was brown.  then shaped it. 

The broomstick is a pretzel with a twizzler (mango flavored, not "twizzler" brand. 

I had the glasses leftover from a Harry Potter Halloween Costume.

The owl was a disappointment.  I tried to make one using marshmallows & it did NOT work either.  So you see what I ended up with. 

The scarf is fruit rollups & starbursts. 

I purchased the Harry Potter Figurine off Ebay or Amazon, can't remember which now.
