Cauldron Cakes

This is part II of my mini-series on Harry Potter snacks from the books brought to life (part I is on Honeydukes treats, part III features every wizard's favorite drink—butterbeer!— and part IV showcases decadent butterbeer cupcakes). When I was young, I wanted to grow up to be a writer. I also wanted to be a teacher, deep sea diver, and a cashier at McDonald's, but that's a different story. In early elementary school years, I would furiously write about anything and everything that came to mind. It would seem I had a bright future in writing, but all of this was cut short as soon as I entered fourth grade. For years, scarcely a sentence flowed from my pencil. Then Harry Potter entered my life. When I was fifteen years old, I became obsessed with the series. And the words began to flow from my pencil once more. Harry Potter inspired me to continue writing again. Since then, I've worked to keep writing a part of my life. These Cauldron Cakes are the ultimate Harry Potter eye candy.

First Dinah, I’d like to welcome you tonight, and thank you for joining us here on MuggleNet, and congratulations on your book. Dinah Bucholz (DB): Well thank you very much, I’m delighted to be here. KH: Tell us when was the idea first originated and how did it evolve since that first origination? DB: Well, it sounds a little crazy to say this but it just popped into my head one day. KH: Did you actually hear back from them? DB: I did hear back from them, and I never thought I would. KH: Now I imagine with JK Rowling, she has some copyrights on some of the items that are in there, such as ‘Butterbeer’, ‘Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans’, etc. etc. DB: I had to exclude those recipes from the book. KH: That is now a copy-written word by JK Rowling. KH: Yeah. KH: Yes.
